took the mom, daughter, son, me and my coworker to untangle the factory-tangled cables, mount the crystals on the cables, and then i could install them. oh, and they were keeping their house at 76 degrees. this was in the room next to the kitchen, and she decided to use all the burners to start dinner just as we started. so it was about 85 degrees up at the ceiling...

i took a picture more for evidence. one of the kids is going to throw something through it in the next 2 weeks and tangle it all into a knot...

Hoooolleee Moses.
