the ones that really suck are the ceiling fans with the glass plate covers that attach to the ceiling. half the time i was afraid of dropping that sucker that i wasn't concentrating on putting up the actual fan itself. :D |
well, first of all - it took forever to get the previous fan down. i was replacing it because the springs inside the light kit had busted....so i didn't have light anymore. and i wanted a new fan anyway, ecause i didn't really like the current one.
well, the way this old one was installed, it took almost 2 hrs to get down, because i didn't have the proper tools (i.e. something to remove bolts that were literally wedged in so tight, it would take some kind of power tool to get it off). so i had to really around w/ a phillips to get the off. then yeah, putting the new one up was a little difficult w/ the wiring @ first....and then i just couldn't get the to line up straight.....so it was scraping up against the casing that holds it to the mountaing bar (that is screwed into the outlet box in the ceiling). and the way the thing sits, it can't be more than like 1cm off otherwise the blades will scrape. so ing awful..
pics:
