No sir, unfortunately not. SO, many hours later, a great deal of
cursing, and a lot of rewiring of the switch I got all wrong <grin>, I
finally now have one ceiling fan installed, a double switch
controlling the light on the fan and the light that is on the wall,
and several holes to patch. Despite my best efforts, I was forced to
do some unconventional things to get wires going where I wanted and
that included making a larger hole in the switch box in order to get
the blasted wire into the switch box. Well hey, all the holes shall
be filled and all will be right with the world. THis is a good
experiment for the next project when we add a light to the hall area
that doesn't have one.
Thanks all for the suggestions and tips.
