Outside motion light

I've had it for over 4 years I think, from before my daughter was born and from when my Mother-in-Law used to stay in the guest house.

Today I dug out the box and installed it. It was easy, not quite straightforward but nothing complicated. Put some caulk around the top and sides to try and keep any rain out. Now hopefully I need to be awake when it's dark to go try it, with the sun coming up at 5 and going down at 9 it's hard to find a good time to test it.

I'm your biggest fan!

While I had two months off last year it was my goal to install a ceiling fan in our bedroom. I never got it done although I did have the fan purchased. This weekend I finally found the time, it was either that or try and work out why my wife's bike was creaking... Fan won.

I cut a hole in the middle of the ceiling, put in the fan box thingy and set up all the wiring. It all went pretty well. Only hiccup was that I was sure that the wire from the switch was live, but it turns out it was live before the switch and I had to run a little bit more wire, but that made the wiring of the light in the closet a little easier.

This switch used to light up the closet, now there is a motion sensor on the closet light and this fancy thing controls the fan. I'm not sure about the dimming function and the fluorescent light. When everything is off, the light still lights up a teeny tiny bit, I need to work on that a bit more, but generally everything is working great! It sure is great on these hot summer nights.

It's also good to get the fan box out of the garage.
