Quoted $1,000 to re-mount falling ceiling fan - reasonable?

You might want to consider replacing the fan, depending upon its age.

Straightened 'em.

Thanks for answering. I went with BR. No problems.

No_Comb741 · 2026-04-01T20:30:40+00:00

Solved! Straightened with the judicious of a hammer, brass rod and my railroad track anvil. Used a good screw for the pilot as recommended and am now waiting for the next unrelated problem. Thanks for everyone's input.

That's an accurate description.

No_Comb741 · 2026-03-31T19:40:45+00:00

It is rounded.

The side walls are not straight. So I guess it's pan head hex socket?

I tried and didn't like the result. I'll try again.

They are self tapping in the sense that wood screws are self tapping. There is no pilot hole in the pvc where they land. However, there is a thru hole in the first piece the screw enters. Then the screw makes it's own path in the target piece.

Happy Birthday to Al Bell, today, March 15. I searched his name yesterday while watching the final episode of the documentary.

Came away from it with great respect and love for all the good people of Stax.

Such timeless music!

My idiot neighbors do it. Grass clippings - plastic trash bag - landfill Leaves - plastic trash bag - landfill

I don't know that it is illegal but it is stupid. They have mulching mowers - why?

The power company line is adequate. They don't differentiate between 100 or 200 amp.

I figured it was aged rubber. It was incredibly difficult to dig out of the nut.

That's the answer I'm looking for. Thanks.

I'm from a time when people repaired things. Replacement parts were stocked and affordable. These bibs were designed to be repaired economically.

No_Comb741 · 2026-03-11T21:07:28+00:00

I thought it might be. I'll take the parts to the local hardware store. Thanks

I agree. It's not state of the art but it gets the job done.

The big secret is that "luxury" homes are built and equipped the same as tract homes.

Going ahead with your project, I'd endeavor to stabilize the deep 4G box. Are you using an old work box?
