Or, how to hang a fan in 13 (NOT) easy steps.
Step 1: mount the new switch plate.
Step 2: look at the hole where the old fan was.
Step 3: look at the stuff in the box. Then quit for the day.
Step 4: mount the thingy that is going to keep the fan from taking out The Kid. Do this after cussing a lot, trying 50 other options and nixing them, and making 3 trips to Home Depot.
Step 5: hang the motor. Hate your wife's nesting intensely. She is responsible for this fan fiasco.
Step 6: attach the blades.
Step 7: poke at the blades with your screwdriver.
Step 8: keep nudging at it.
Step 9: turn on the power!
Step 10: hang the light cover.
Step 11: do something with channel locks. Teach wife what a channel lock is.
Step 12: Yay done!
Step 13: tell wife that fan is your nemesis. You will never hang another one. Fail to realize that there is one more crappy fan in the house that she will surely make you replace. Bask in the glory of your victory.
(Love you, Preston! The fan looks awesome!)
