Wiring And Hanging


We have installed a new Minka Aire Concept II ceiling fan ($150 fbm) and two track lights ($265) once in Leif's vaulted great room. The work took two weekends with all new wiring and dimmers added. This fan is inaudible and echoes the shape of the foyer light.


Some surface wiring was removed and the track lights were wired along with the new fan plus dimmers. The master bedroom also has a new ceiling fan added to it's vaulted ceiling. For now these fans help keep wood stove heat down and in the living spaces.



Mid Century Modern houses had hanging closet doors in their bedrooms at least. Bill has painted the upstairs doors here white which Leif hung with all new hardware. It is hard to paint over wooden parts of an Acorn Deck House like Leif's, but the one above in CT had an addition painted all white inside, which is a striking contrast.
