[quote]OK, maybe this was one of life's simplest pleasures, to be able to control the ceiling fan without getting out of bed. Please don't say the wall switch was by the door into the bedroom?[/quote] No idea on that. But it wasn't just the switch, it was putting the new receiver in the canop...

[quote]What you haven't told us is HOW FAR OFF THE GROUND is the ceiling fan? If it's a standard ceiling, reachable by the kind of ladder everybody handy would have in their garage, it's one thing. But, if it's the ceiling fan in a cathedral ceiling room three stories high, that requires a heck of a...

OT Electricians - Was This Price A Tad High?

My cousin recently had to replace one of those ceiling fan wall control dimmer things, which got screwed up in a power surge after Ida (lights in the fan started going on/off like The Exorcist, etc.) They replaced the exact same brand/model. The part was supplied for them. Total time spent was a...
