My brother put a fan up in our kitchen and jerry rigged it. It worked, but after a short while, you realized you couldn't open the cabinet doors without hitting the blades. One fan blade broke and we had someone put a new light fixture up. (You'd think it'd be easy as the instructions say it is. It's not.) My house was an electrician's nightmare. It took hours for an electrician to change our plug sockets and fixture(s). The wires in the plug sockets were cut too close into the wall.
Wait!...so you mean you can actually change lightbulbs??? I thought you just replace the whole fixture when they burn out!!
...smh.. next I guess your gonna tell me that the world is round instead of flat, right?
hehehe
(see what I did there?)
