Yup, I installed both of these systems without breaking anything, electrocuting myself and others, or hurting myself (well, much. I am pretty sure my finger will have the ability to bend in a couple of days.) Needless to say, I am amazed that I was able to get this stuff to work, all with a minimal amount of time, difficulty, and cursing. Gotta go strut around the house naked like I own the place.
Oh wait, I do.
YAY! Mullinator, congratulations on not hurting yourself! 
More Power to you Tim! congrats
Please Mull,
Don’t tell me you used PAM on your drill, too. I still haven’t recovered from Duck Duck Goose’s confession.
Go and put some clothes on - I can’t think with all this nudity. :eek:
Yeah, big deal. It’s easy for you. The rest of us have to climb up on rickety kitchen chairs to even reach the ceiling fans.

Well, if you’re bored, feel free to come over and install mine. Our new house has 40’ celings, and while it’s pre-wired for the ceeling fan, I have to install it myself.
And I only thought that I had every tool ever invented.
:: searching Google for 40’ screwdrivers ::
40ft screwdrivers???
Holy smokes…forty foot ceilings? Did you just move into Saint Patrick’s or something?
Even Mully would need to get up on a rickety kitchen chair, possibly standing on my shoulders, to install YOUR ceiling fans.
So when should we come over?
Yep…it’s a pain…I’ll probably pay someone to do it, just so I don’t have to screw with it. I’m not afraid of heights, or worried about installing it right, (I’ve done pleanty of them before) but I just don’t want to have to get a ladder, then try and hold the damn thing up while hooking it up. Plus I’ve never installed one with the extension rods that it’ll take, and I don’t want to screw up and have the damn thing fall on us one night…
Do you have a mortgage? If you said yes, then your bank owns more of the house than you do.
Atrael,
Hire out the installation. It will be only slightly pricier than you renting a 40’ ladder. Plus wielding a 40 footer in the house has a lot of perils. A bonded and insured contractor will absorb the cost of anything he destroys – just as you would (except it’s no longer your checkbook).
SouthernStyle,
Yeah, that’s pretty much what I figured…it’s not something that I really want to mess with. I’ll do the one in the master bedroom, and in the loft, but not that one. Thanks
So, Mully, you say you’ll be strutting around naked…
What was that address again?
I’ll just stick to the 25% of the house I own from the downpayment.
And KimKatt, send me the money and I’ll setup your own personal webcam.
How about a garage door opener? Most people never reset the code on them so you can drive around with your remote & open a lot of doors.
Sheesh, if only I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard THAT!
