As i found out years ago, you need to put a couple of screws through the rose into the ceiling joists AND not rely on adhesive to hold it up there!!!!! Gravity's a bitch LOL.........Over to you JJ
 
I have one to fit in a couple of weeks. It's only 54" in diameter in a double height stairwell.
 
Do`nt worry Casper, its screwed up there.I knew if i said i had`nt screwed it you would come on here when you were pissed and make a knob of yourself.Ooops, looks like you have.lol
 
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

That will explain the props then? What's the matter mt? don't trust your screws or something? LOL
 
Think your rite Casper, he don't trust them screws :rolleyes)

Bet JJ doesn't stand underneath it when he removes the props :RpS_laugh: Nice feature that though!! Doubles up as a pole for the mrs to dance round too :RpS_biggrin:
 
I'm 99.9999999 % sure he was just using the props while he was oot at the van for some screws. I could be wrong though!!! :RpS_biggrin:
 
All kidding aside (for a mo) I actuall fitted the exact same rose 18 years ago in my girlfriend, of the time's, flat. I'll never forget it. High ceiling! I had successfully fixed the matching cornice and was chuffed to bits, so she asked me to fit the rose. So, i did a JJ....I went doon to the back garden and got a couple of clothes poles and fired some fast set onto the rose and propped it into place. My burd was over the moon. We retired to the kitchen to have dinner and a drink while the fast set took a grip. We went back in about an hour later and i told her it would be solid. So she climbed the ladder and tested it while i removed the clothes poles. AS she was coming down the ladders with a big cheesy grin.......my rose fell on her head, then hit the wooden floor where it broke in half. I though i was going to die laughing!! She had a huge lump on the top of her head and was none too impressed with my effort! I went oot the next day and bought the same rose and some nice long screws!!!
 
Hope he pre drilled & countersunk the screw holes in the rose before he fixed it up then!! :RpS_biggrin:I bet he just gripfilled it up, then smeared a bit of cove adhesive around the edges for show.
