We were over at the Boschains today for Benjy's birthday..not the party, just the birthday...and old friends the Horbetts were there! Without the slew of kids. We had cake and pizza and Gary brought up how much he wanted to install a ceiling fan in each room in their house. So, Adam and I being old hands at that sort of stuff, offered to help him put one up in their bedroom. Now. Right now. So we 3 ran out to Lowe's and Gary picked one out, then we got down to work. It involved some heavy duty recon work; the attic access is not real close to where the fan needed to go in, but from there it looked easy enough to cross the house and find the spot where we'd be hanging it. It turned out to not be as easy as it looked, but Adam was the one doing the attic crawling so it was ok. We had lights and wires poking up through the ceiling so he could spot the location, but the joining of the house (it's a prefab) and where the insulation was made it hard to find. But we did find it eventually, and we even learned what that second switch on the wall in their bedroom was for that they never had known. It was for just in case they wanted to install a ceiling fan, one switch for the light and one for the fan. Easy peasy. We did have to improvise a bit to get the junction box supported well, but after finding the right tools it was no problem and in an hour or two we had the thing all hooked up and working correctly, balanced so well there was no wobble at all. Gary is just ecstatic over it.
