marcicatWe are now the proud owners of a FULLY INSTALLED CEILING FAN! (This may seem like a small thing, but it was not a small thing. Well, the fan itself is pretty small.)
This epic adventure required RESEARCH! It required TALKING ON THE PHONE! (More than once, even! Multiple phone calls!) It required a NOT INSIGNIFICANT investment of time and money!
But victory is now ours! One (1) day before the Big Heat Wave (aka we're being alerted with an EXCESSIVE HEAT ADVISORY, which is something I would much prefer to avoid, thanks), the electrician has come through for us and arrived to install the fan.
Also a new light in the laundry area. With a pull cord!
So now we have the following powers:
*The fan light and the laundry room light can be operated separately. (They are on the same light switch, why??? The pull cord for the light and the fan remote resolve this issue nicely, with no need for rewiring.)
*The fan will, presumably, help move air through the upstairs. (It will certainly do more than the not-a-fan that was there before.) How much help this provides is yet to be seen, but I am VERY HAPPY to do this science.
*The fan has a colored LED backlight that can be set to rotate through colors. It's a party!
