No, not brunch and getting drunk on mimosas....more around the house projects! On the agenda today: hanging the ceiling fan in Avery's nursery, painting the front door and changing the door bell button.
Let's start with the hanging the ceiling fan
attempt. Turn off the power..check. Remove the existing light fixture...check. Ummm now what? We couldn't tell if the current fixture box was the type that could support a ceiling fan. Nate tried to push it up and it didnt really budge...on one side. Next thought, lets try the attic and see if we can tell. Nope, no luck. It just looks like a million pillows exploded up there and I'm not really sure how anybody would find anything. One would think that the builder of new house would have put in the proper box in case someone wanted to hang a ceiling fan, but it turns out probably not. With how things have been going with this house, I'm really not surprised at all.
Next logical step: head to Home Depot for some education. Wouldn't you know the box that we have looks quite similar to the one in the ceiling fan installation book that they said you had to use a dry wall saw and cut away the ceiling. Deciding this project was way above our pay grade we put our names on the list for an installer to come out and give us a quote. Hopefully its an easy and
cheap job.

Second project on the agenda: changing the door bell button and painting the door. Success! The door bell button now matches the house numbers and lights up and three coats of paint later on the door, I'm very happy with how it turned out.
