It sounds like you just need the power source coming from the switch to be changed with the power source to the light. <br /><br />It sounds like a fun challenge.

But your way sounds more entertaining. :)<br /><br />My dad turned my living room ceiling fan, as it seemed to be loose. It then stopped working. I replced the entire fixture, as it came with the house. Still did not turn on. It stayed that way intil this summer, when we were trying to save money and open windows, use fans instead of using the window ac's all the time. Once I took down the fan and really looked at it, I found a wire was broken inside a wire nut. It was a 30 second repair, which took me 2 years to get to. :)mommeeof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/03611832953435781430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-46826368293952245382009-10-15T16:18:43.063-04:002009-10-15T16:18:43.063-04:00Oven mits!

He is the DIY KING, and is SURE that he can get it to work. Currently, getting ice at my parents house involves a butterknife and a wrench.<br /><br />Seeing as I have essentially married my father, and am thrilled with what I have to look forward to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-45074843533054313662009-10-15T13:54:29.028-04:002009-10-15T13:54:29.028-04:00Perhaps a new ceiling fan might be the more cost-e...Perhaps a new ceiling fan might be the more cost-effective solution?Jenn @ Juggling Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455967210924573398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-5161704101848487302009-10-15T13:03:51.404-04:002009-10-15T13:03:51.404-04:00Beverly, you make me feel so much better.

Ask to see references, call the references, etc.<br /><br />A hand man will be able to fix the fan, replace the faucet, etc all probably much cheaper than calling a licensed electrician or plumber. Now if you were completely re-wiring the house or installing a new bathroom then call the plumber or electrician. However, these small little odd jobs...a handy man is what you need.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10208117589724651149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-41068578238748933552009-10-15T10:32:39.813-04:002009-10-15T10:32:39.813-04:00My sweetheart installed a ceiling fan in our bedro...My sweetheart installed a ceiling fan in our bedroom. It works fine as long as the lights are on. Turn them off with the chain and it wobbles and makes noise--disturbing, irritating noise. So for about two years now, we unscrew the light bulbs every night and back on every morning. And yes those bad boys get HOT! Once Larry fixes yours, think he could head over to my house?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10641059685087617173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-86678705951356649982009-10-15T10:28:53.089-04:002009-10-15T10:28:53.089-04:00I think I can make Larry feel better.

My husband, the <i>engineer</i>, and his cousin the <i>electrical engineer</i> spent <b>months</b> trying to replace the ballast on the kitchen light, which in the end, my 11 year old climbed up on the counter and connected in like 5.2 seconds. The problem? Neither of the <i>engineers</i> could figure out how wire nuts work!Vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08508647658368782915noreply@blogger.com
