Home improvement weekend

Saturday morning we awoke to a squeaking ceiling fan above our bed. My solution was to just turn it off and hope that the squeak would go away the next time we turn the fan on but James had other ideas.

One trip to Home Depot and this happen:


Well the fan didn't get up there that quickly like the "I Dream of Jeanne" effect, it did take a few hours of James grunting due to his bad shoulder. James swears he's not a handyman but I knew he could handle a simple switching of an old fan for a new one. Have you noticed the crop circle up near the base of the fan that meets the ceiling? Seems that neither one of us thought about that when picking out the new fan. Well maybe the new fan will be the motivation that I've been needing on my Friday's off to finally paint our bedroom.
