Ceiling Fans!


We have been so busy harvesting veggies and making sauce and freezing stuff. On Labor Day...we spent the weekend ... laboring. We bought 3 hunter ceiling fans for the bedrooms. We got matching ones for the downstairs bedrooms and a white for the upstairs. We had to reinforce the light boxes, but we were lucky we could access them. Was not a fun project, but they sure are nice.
New ceiling fan in bedroom

It works!



We moved the bedroom light to hallway--where there was a broken fixture (no glass, just a bulb)


New light in other bedroom

This was the fixture in the front hallway -- same as when we bought the house
We replaced it with the other bedroom fixture. Don't love it...but an improvement!
And the last photo wasn't being artistic... we finished this close to sunset. We got sloppy doing the third one and I didn't hook up both positive wires when we first installed it. It sparked and it tripped the switch. We didn't realized that there were too breakers for this room until we installed it 2 more times and replaced a circuit breaker. Was not a fun job...but it is done!
