Urgent PD Request

[Pebblszzz]

I got only ONE response to my S.O.S. regarding wiring...

And I still don't know if I can connect red to blue.

But here goes!

Send pixie dust, I'm gonna need it to break my fall off the 10' ladder.

OOOHHHHH I was hoping my Dad would be home before you did so I could ask him for ya but he's still not home!! Please please be careful!!!

Call Home Depot or Lowes. Or look up their websites.

Lisa, ask him when he gets home anyway, ok?

I may be pulling my hair out by then...

I'll check back if I survive the first try!

(thanks)

 

[aunt lissa]

I will most definitley do that!! He should be home shortly!!

Are you sure it's not white, red or black??

if you only have a single gang switch going to the box in the cieling you will have to join the light (blue) and fan (red) together
and connect to red from switch. Downside when fan is on the
light is on unless you use the switch built into the fan to turn
off the light. White neutral goes to whiite and ground to ground
including loop it around the ground screw located inside the
octagon box in the cieling.

Two wall switches for the fan/light.

I've connected white to white, black to black, and blue to red (blue from fan to red from ceiling). Oh, and I did the ground thingys, too.

Next is light kit, then I can test it.

Weeeeee!!!! I don't need no steenkin' man around the house!

I CAN do this....

(of course, I may be up all night doing it!)

 

[minnie56]

sounds like you got it good luck but if all the power goes out
on the eastern seaboard again, leave town

 

[Pebblszzz]

I have fannage, and there is light.

All is good in the world.

Thanks, everybody!!!
