Ceiling Fan Side Project

Just installed a new ceiling fan in the living room. The old fan was hideous. This one is more to our modern/mid-century taste. It is the Minka Aire® Artemis™ in copper bronze. It's actually semi-transparent. Comes in many other cool colors and finishes. It's absolutely silent and very efficient. I can't imagine ever using above the low setting. Everything's controlled from a fancy wall mount controller, which simply replaces the wall switch.


Had to trace out a bit of electrical. The old fan was on a 3-way switch and I just needed to determine which box was the circuit feed from the panel. Naturally it turned out to be the box furthest from the panel. The people who wired this house were, uh, not so smart. When I wire for the kitchen, I'll be rewiring several other zones as well.
