For the last two summers I have been meaning to get a ceiling fan installed in our bed room; with the heat, as it is, I had to. On Saturday Sara and I went to Lowes to purchase a ceiling fan and get some insight for installing it. As the instructions were delivered, I said to myself, “I am never going to be able to do this. Running electricity up a wall, after splitting it from an outlet, cutting a hole in the ceiling, making the a support beam in the rafters, then putting the fan together. Impossible, but too expensive if I don’t do it”. But I was determined only to be dismayed by the shake of Sara’s head as she looked at the ground.
My thoughts were wrong and it turned out to be half the situation I imagined. The rewards of having this fan was well worth the headache and sweat.

Get all the pics here.

    Avery likes the fan if it’s not going to fast. When I put in on the third setting she freaked out… it was pretty funny.

    just got to look at the pictures, you looked sweaty, cutting a hole in the ceiling is so final, when you do that you are committed.
    Do you use it much now?
    I ask cause John put one in the garage office and it’s nice but it gets too windy to do paperwork (even on low).
    Lexi and Chloe love it.
