Somebody posted a pic here a while back of an inverted copter drawn on a ceiling around a ceiling fan. Had to admit.... kinda cool looking. Pic #1 Now, it seems that dream is a reality. I ran across this the other day. An actual ceiling fan copter with a 3 speed motor, a remote control and it's own heli-pad. Pic #2 It might not actualy be all the great for cooling but you got to admit.....it's got a certain cool factor. Flyinfool? You been busy? Mike

Alright folks. I have a need. I want to store my trailer up near the ceiling of my garage to free up floor space. I have actually already used a cumalong to get it up there and safety chained it to the joists. It was cumbersome and I had to be careful to raise each side evenly to keep it from tipping. But, I want to make a system to hang it up and get it back down a lot more easily all by myself. That way I will probably use my trailer more often instead of using my truck to go get smaller items. Any suggestions? The bottom of my ceiling joist is 10' 4" above the floor. I thought about building a plywood ramp (reinforced with 2x4s standing on their sides and screwed along the length of the outer edges of the plywood). I would hinge the plywood at the rear to the bottom of 2x4 vertical studs extending down about 30" from the joists. This would allow clearance for the raised trailer to hang below the bottom of the joists. I would lower the front of the ramp and push the fairly light trailer up the ramp and secure the tongue to a stop at the front of the plywood. Then, I would only have to lift the tongue up and secure it with a safety chain. The plywood would also act as a storage shelf for light things associated with the trailer (folding chairs, small tent, etc. Did all that make any sense? Rusty

Has anyone ever replaced the pull chain on a ceiling fan? It's the chain controlling the fan. It's broken off inside so there's nothing to attach another chain to. I know i've seen a small replacement part at Home Depot's but are they really standard and one size fits all?

Worked great, can manuver in and finish jacking up. Finished the ceiling today.
