Ceiling Fan

May 25th, 2012 at 04:21 am

We now have a ceiling fan in the bedroom. And the toilet got a new fan and light. All up it took the electrician almost 3 hours. He had to get up in the attic, which is cramp and dusty. He had to provide some of the stuff like light switches and light batten. I thought for sure he would ask for more money than what he quoted. Even though it took him a lot longer to put the fan (it’s a new kind that he has never seen before), it was a lot fiddlier.

So in the end I gave him $300 cash. Unfortunately there was a bigger hole in the ceiling, which couldn’t be covered by the fan so I had to patch it up. I’m just waiting for it to dry and then I will paint it. I also had to do the same in the wardrobe area where it had some holes from the old screws from the old light fitting.

    Ha, ha, had a funny moment. In the US we use the word "toilet" for just the stool, not for the whole bathroom. I was picturing a toilet with its own fan and light. Thanks for the chuckle!

    lol...I think here a bathroom would have to have a shower and/or bathtub, it can sometimes have a toilet. Because the room that we have only has the toilet in it we just call it the toilet(room)or most of the time we use slang words for it.
