I started to tackle the ceiling fan installations at our house, and figured since the painting was still going on in our daughters room, I would start there.
With the ceiling fan rough-ins already there, it was a rather straightforward job wiring-wise. The assembly of the fan itself could have been a little easier. Either instructions are getting harder to decipher for me, or they are not written as clearly as they used to be.
Either way, I got the fan and light installed and wired in fairly short order. The only glitch, and I think this was on me was putting the slide control on the wall plate. I though the fan switch was the one closest to the door, but its actually the one furthest away from the door. So I will have to switch them around tomorrow, as its the start of the New Year we have to go to a family get-together for the obligatory pork and sauerkraut.

I also swapped out two of our can lights over the island with some ceiling-to-pendant light kits from Lowe's. These were simplicity itself to install, just have to shorten the cords to your desired length, and buy your globes of choice.
Lots of fan-related posts by people lately.
ReplyDeleteSuch fantastic posts. Still need to find ours. But we still have time, I think. Settlement is still TBD in the next week or so.
ReplyDeleteironic, I didn't know about the conversion kit until yesterday when I was perusing the local Mennards. Now I see you installing it. Nice!
ReplyDeleteGina, are we competing for closing? we are looking at the 10th.
