The ceiling lights were distracting: our old halogen spotlights immediately burn out and don't illuminate much to begin with. I jammed some LED flood bulbs in the housing, and used telegraph wire to make clips that hold these in place. The flood bulb angle also helps reflect light off of the walls to get around the humungous new obstruction.

This rack turns out to fit three or so loads of laundry, and this adds up to more weight than would be comfortable to lift. A 5:1 block and tackle system was straightforward to make from two pairs of double pulleys, which I boringly purchased at the big box like a 21st-century person, this part should run smoothly and be less likely to explode.
