Justin Hernandez Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I'm not that good at remembering to take pictures of my work or things that I'am fixing. I always forget or I just get busy and start working then when I'm done I'm like I should have took a before picture. This was a small job just hang up a bunch of lights and fix some violations. I came across this fan which was installed wrong in every way and it did not have a proper fan box. So I start taking the fan apart and I notice the neutral wire is pinched between the down rod and the motor bracket and just hanging out. I don't know how you do not notice this during install, all the weight of the fan was sitting on the wire and close to shorting out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I hate doing ceiling fans they are so awkward to work on by yourself. You really need a 3rd hand installing them!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 when I put up a 72" ceiling fan in our living room.....no lights just blades, it came with about 8 feet of extra wire? how is that even going to fit in that little cap if you didn't want to snip the wires to length....

sleephero Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 A couple days ago I had a guy stub conduit through a fire wall rather than jab a hole through it. This is what I found today. Wire was totally pulled through a jabbed out hole as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hernandez Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 I hate doing ceiling fans they are so awkward to work on by yourself. You really need a 3rd hand installing them!!!Hanging up fixtures suck, they take forever and if you forget to put one part on a fan you have to take it all down and put it up again. Some fans can take over an hour to hang up and when it comes to big expensive chandeliers forget about it. I dont see nothing. LolThere's an orange wire nut sticking out. I can't tell if your being sarcastic or not..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the last one I did I got creative, it is not code approved but it works. I just take a knock out off the box put a plastic connector on it and stuff the extra wire in the attic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99_XC600 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 WTF. I guess the guy never saw a 90 elbow before or a tape measure. The stud on the left is about 6" too short as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
