The answer is Two!
I started taking out the old light fixture in our "What will be the Office/Now Living Room". The previous homeowners left a couple ceiling fans they never installed, so we figured that with all this heat and lack of A/C it would be beneficial to our sanity to install them..Yeah. Right.
First, I found out that they had not only painted the old light fixture to the ceiling, but someone had also plastered in the old fixture box. We had to chip away at it with a razor knife for several hours, but we still managed to have lots of plaster fall down on top of us. Then it was Keith's turn, as he has more experience with electricity...wait. I take that back. HIS nickname isn't "Sparky." That is why he was in charge of the electrical components of this project. :-) (I have a knack for finding live wires...)
So, he worked on installing the fan, while I made sure we followed instructions. This was on Day 2 of the project, as we had to get a medallion to cover the big cracks in the ceiling. Notice the sweat on my face - yeah. THAT is why I wanted this think installed, but figured we'd have it in before we hit probably the hottest day of the summer. The heat index was 113 degrees that day.
But now if it ever gets hot again, we can just flip the switch and "poof" air is circulating!
