Re: [MBZ] OT Kitchen Cupboards again

In my case I’m replacing cabinets, a section of drywall on one wall, countertops, sink and faucet. My kitchen is what I would describe as an “open galley” of two more or less parallel walls, the end of one that sort of bends in at an angle with a pass over/bar, and an island consisting of a

Rather than tag onto Dan's original email on the subject, I thought I would just start over. What do you folks expect to pay for a kitchen remodel. I have had clients who spent over $100K renovating their kitchens. I gather it is not difficult to spend at least $50K as friends did that a few

Beautiful! If I lived in a very small town I would have another bike but riding in the city is just too dangerous for my taste. I had 2 different small Honda bikes back in the late 60s and early 70s and then a Goldwing in the late 80s to early 90s but stopped riding bikes while I was still

Re: [MBZ] OT - Ceiling Fan/Electrical Quandary

When we would visit the inlaws down here the guest room we slept in had/has a cheap ceiling fan. As the wife wants air moving when she’s sleeping, it would be on all night long, “ticking” as it rotated because it wasn’t balanced. Made me crazy. It’s still in that room today. When we moved down

Jim, Trust me, when you run that thing out and bury the spikes into the joists, you can almost hang from it. I believe it’s rated for 70 lbs. with a 16” span. I am a fan snob. Hunter only. Nothing worse than a cheap ceiling fan. -D > On Mar 24, 2020, at 10:51 AM, Jim Cathey wrote: > >>

That may be my approach. The (ventilation) fan isn’t far from where the ceiling fan will go. As for a junction box, I’m using one of the retrofit fan brace/junction box setups to hang the fan. They’re an expandable rod with spikes in each end that dig into the sides of the ceiling joists.The

It may depend on what kind of can lights they are. Some are made to be installed from below through the hole that they will sit in. Maybe you will be lucky and find that that is what you have. Or grab the wire to the light or ventilation fan through the hole for the new fan and if there is
