Ceiling Fan part 2

So two days later...




You can kind of tell that they are moving. That's right, we went from a flat ceiling to a working fan in just 2 days!!! Everything today went pretty normal for hanging a fan. I did put it together wrong at first and had to take it apart to stop one of the wires from touching the rotating part. But that was it. This was a big deal for us. It is something that we have wanted to do for a very long time and I never had the guts to get started. But now that it is done there is one more project in the house that I know we can do.

And the other best part is that it was going to cost us $300 per box to put in. That is not including the fan. It cost us about $150 to get this first one in, not including the fan, but now we have all of the tools and it should only cost about twenty bucks to put the other boxes in. So, by my count, learning to do it on our own will have saved us about $1100 by the time we are done. Pretty good right?
