2 out of the 3 “bedrooms” in the upstairs of our house don’t have overhead fans/lights and I have decided I am in the mood to do some electrical work. These rooms only have switched receptacles. I haven’t done anything besides receptacles in about 7 years. I ordered all the parts/wire/tools so there is no backing out now. Will have to get in the attic to install the wiring for the ceiling fans/lights.
I’m kind of excited to try my hand at something I haven’t done in several years.
That’s awesome man! That’s really cool you know how to do electrical work. Remember to be safe!
Thanks @Montezuma . I will.
I guess that’s not completely true. I did replace a the side mount pull chain light in the garage. Didn’t involve running any wire though.
That’s awesome. Have fun! I like doing random house stuff. I put up some cabinets a little while back.
Thanks @LevelJ1 ! If everything goes well, maybe I will consider doing more electrical work as a hobby. Always someone that needs stuff done, and I have a large extended family.
I changed out an old hanging light fixture at my old place and replaced it with a round led ceiling fixture.
I was a bit nervous cuz the old fixture didn’t have labeled wiring it was from the 50s.
But I didn’t die lol and the light worked!
My dad helped me do that in my house about 4 years ago. My mom picked out a light for my bedroom ceilings. I’m using one right now. Hope the project goes well.
That’s really pretty
@Bowens - great you can do it yourself - I been building a smart home and had to replace a light switch - watched YouTube for weeks - over and over - so afraid i would be electrocuted. But i got it done and felt great. Plus I love the new light switch.
We need a ceiling ventilator in the bathroom. Maybe you can install it 
We use to call those “fart fans” when I did electrical work. .
I’m so excited for you, @Bowens.
Thanks @Pandy !
That’s a wonderful feeling when something positive (pun intended) sparks (again) your motivation huh?
Hope it goes well for you.
I do everything around the house with my dad except roofs. I hate heights.
Glad to hear it @Bowens, good luck with your new projects.
