2008_03_11 Moving light and fan wires in master bedroom

The wire for the ceiling light and fan was originally too close to the French doors and I asked Steve to move it so that it was eight feet three inches away from them.

The wire was previously in the beam that the beam his hand is on butts into at the end nearest the doors. That was going to put the ceiling fan off-center in relation to the bed, TV, and fireplace.


The wire has to travel under the ceiling by passing through a groove routed in the tops of the beams since there is no attic above since it's the second floor bedroom up there.

Once they got one end snugged up to the tongue and groove and lined up properly they secured it with two 8 inch screws. The beam is really tight even without the screws, but the 4 screws will hold it nicely.

Below Steve is getting ready to check to see that the sides of the newly installed beam are lined up and are perpendicular to the bottom of the beam at the end.

Now it's in the proper place and ready for a ceiling fan!
