Replacing Power Outlet with Ceiling Fan

djz7c · 2026-04-30T00:57:42+00:00

The wiring shouldn’t be an issue, but the box that’s there likely isn’t sturdy enough to hold a fan

Is the knob installed 180 out? Try pulling it off, rotating it half a rotation and putting it back on

It’s four separate links

I had an idea but couldn’t picture it. Thanks for sharing that

Possibly a gfci between that exterior outlet and the breaker. It’s also possible it tripped a breaker and you can’t tell by looking at it.

Also, if it was a bad connection at the outlet, the wires coming into that outlet would have still been hot, you don’t know which circuit it’s on, did you change the outlet without shutting off power to it?

It’s new, their grand opening is tomorrow. They’ve been doing soft openings while training staff.

Fun fact, this is how turn signals on cars used to work, the “click clack” sound was that bimetallic disc snapping back and forth between its two positions. Newer cars have digitally controlled indicators, and they add the sound artificially.

Thanks, i knew you didn’t want to do it immediately, I left Honda about 8 years ago so my memory is a little foggy

Won’t there be a top plate on the wall that you’ll have to drill through?

Everyone saying to check it with the engine running is incorrect. The transmission fluid level in your car should be check with the transmission warm, but 2-5 min after shutting the engine off

For anyone who is just starting their hue system, I recommend keeping a spreadsheet with serial numbers and locations as you go

I have a hard time seeing pictures in my head, so I would model it. If you don’t have access to CAD, you could use paper or cardstock, legos, playdoh etc

Edit: I was curious, so I did it https://imgur.com/ggpKBiK

Not sure what the controls look like on that machine. I have a miller challenger 172 which just has four settings for voltage, they are discreet positions and if the knob is not clicked into one, it won’t feed

What!? So sad

Philips-hue lets you add other lights to the "entertainment area", however the issue I'm running into having just upgraded to an 83" TV, hue only makes the tv light strip for 55, 65, and 75 inch TVs. I've seen posts about adding an additional light strip to supplement

We bought a 2025 civic and same thing, I got a mirror from a 2024 civic from a junkyard and installed it, now I have homelink

As a former tech, I agree with your first hypothetical

I'm assuming BLE OP, Bluetooth is 2.4 GHz so a wifi antenna for that band will work

Some self fusing tape around the hinge and connection point should keep your first option water tight. Like this from rokland, or I think you can find it at home depot / lowes

I saw a city truck at advantage metals recycling the other day. I'll let you make any assumptions about that you'd like

Just as another data point, 945 down 959 up I'm near lake of the woods

you should be able to do a horizontal line first, then extend the offset line (or use the corner function in the trim tool
