More ceiling fan installation

Wow time flies! I haven't posted anything in over a month, and the first thing I post is about yet another: ceiling fan installation. Let's recap:

  1. I've done the master bedroom
  2. Keenans room
  3. Karmen's room
  4. And now my Mom's first floor bedroom
  5. Still to be done: The living room, which I converted into my office
  6. The guest bedroom...one day
At this point, this was my 4th ceiling fan installation. It should have been quicker right? Wrong! In all fairness, this one took a little bit longer because my Mom bought a different brand then the previous ones I had installed. Also, hers came with a remote kit that had to be installed.

Lessons leaned or things I've noted from this process include:
  • The wires they fans come with are tooooooo long! As in, stuffing them into the ceiling fan casing while trying to not allow the wires to become disconnected is just a nuisance
  • Make sure you have electrical tape on hand so you can wrap the wires together before you put the caps on. That was the mistake I made with my first installation in Keenan's room (not having electrical tape). 
In any event, mission was a success, and my Mom now has a working ceiling fan and light!



Note those pesky wires...


It's working!
