We *did* complete one (two-part) project: we changed out the pendant lamps in the kitchen, and installed dimmers both for those and for some other kitchen lights. (Those projects predate me; Kevin had them on his list since he bought the house in 2010.) We just *knew* we'd install the fans next. We didn't.
That was summer of 2015. Turning off the electricity to do possibly very sweaty work during the heat of the Texas summer put us off completely.
Today, the weather is lovely. I've already connected the housing for the remote control (including the appropriate wiring) to the bedroom fan. We have a brace to place between the joists and (at last!) a ladder borrowed from friends. (I tend to forget that our lack of a ladder was also a great impediment to fan project completion.) Eh, so we're ready.
These are the pendants we hung (fan parts litter the island; do forgive the mess.)
These are pieces of the living room fan, and the ugly fixture currently hanging in its place.
This is our lovely bedroom fan:
The lights are on the inside, a circle of light surrounding the fan. Funny, when we bought it, it was on super-sale because it was said to be discontinued. Now I find that Lowe's still sells it. I'm glad we got it for less than retail. http://m.lowes.com/pd/allen--roth-Eastview-23-in-Aged-Bronze-Downrod-Mount-Indoor-Ceiling-Fan-with-Light-Kit-and-Remote-3-Blade/3281038
And here is where it shall go.
Once I post this, it will be time to open the blinds & curtains to let the light in, and turn off the electricity!
I'll update with pictures of the finished project later (and tales of any mishaps that might occur, though let's hope they don't!).
