I have a light over a two story staircase that has been out for almost a year.  No idea what to do.

Kk, is it in a fixture that you need to take a cover off to get to the light, or is the bulb exposed?

Turn wall of the stairway into climbing wall. Train vigorously in the art of rock climbing for the next few months. Climb up and change it out.

Since there's already 2 stories of stairs just build another story that goes right up to the light.

that sounds like it would require affixing things to the wall and I don't have a level or stud finder (except the mirrors in my house)  :gocho:

If I was handy I would build a jet pack and change it myself but that is the problem

Scaffold rents for basically nothing and a person with a 10yr olds intellegence and the ability to lift 30 pounds can erect it.  Give it a whirl and tackle any other high stuff you have for like $40/month rental.
