Katie was pretty nervous to be the one doing the on-camera talking for this one, so if you think she did a good job, make sure you let me know!

@cardsfanbj 6 лет назад

She did a great job!

@UnarmedZombie 6 лет назад

Yes, great job! I see a spinoff channel in your/her future...

@alexting8868 4 года назад

Ensure that the Ceiling Hook can sustain more than 10 times the Ceiling Fan weight. Safety Wire must be fixed correctly to the Pipe?

@stephenalcorn8334 4 года назад

Perfect

@FranksDIY 6 лет назад

As an Electrician takes me a minute to install half an hour to put it together. I hate ceiling fans lol. The biggest mistake people do when installing a fan they put it all together then try to mount it. Glad to see you put the blades and glass last .Did a great job guys

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

Thanks! I'm impressed that it didn't take her THAT much longer than it takes a pro! Apparently most people don't read the instructions? Katie just went step by step and never considered building the whole thing then installing it.

@bigscreenbird8198 6 лет назад

She’s a natural! I honestly think this will give some women the spark to try household things and not to be afraid of doing them! Great job Mrs Katie!

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

The first step is working up the courage to try it. I think you're right, if other people see Katie do it, maybe they will give it a try too.

@PawOfRizzo 5 лет назад

Katie did a great job. I admire both men and women who are willing to take tools in hand and make things happen. A ceiling fan is something any homeowner could save some money installing, so this video should be helpful for those trying some DIY.

@GunflintDesigns 5 лет назад

Thanks Michael, that was very well said!

@ManCrafting 6 лет назад

It’s always nice when a project like this gets taken on by someone else in the family. She did a great job. 👍🏼

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

I was really impressed at how easy it was for her. I think she just unknowingly signed up to do more of this kind of thing!

@DepressionObsessions 5 лет назад

IF KATIE CAN DO IT I CAN DO IT, THANK YOU KATIE YOU DID A BOMB AWESOME WONDERFUL JOB SIS

@gregsherbon2945 6 лет назад

Great job Katie! A ceiling fan is a good first project. Having installed 4 ceiling fans in my house, I can tell you that an hour would be about average.

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

Sounds about right to me to! I think much faster than that and you'd be rushing it.

@LynnLaceyLLWW 6 лет назад

Great Job Katie. Hope to see you take the lead in more projects.

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

I think that's pretty likely to happen!

@Nortesport 6 лет назад

Katie needs her own channel now. Something like Gunflint Home haha. Go girl. You did a good job.

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

I'll keep trying to talk her into it!

@matt_williams1015 6 лет назад

Katie did a great job!

@battleXking 6 лет назад

Katie did a great job, Im planning on replacing my ceiling fan because its not working properly and this was very informative

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

I'm glad we could help you out!

@johnallison4904 6 лет назад

You, and by that I mean your entire family, makes me smile. I know Katie is kinda nervous so keep on building up her confidence. You are a good man sir.

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

Thanks John. We are definitely having fun with this little channel of ours, and I'm glad you are enjoying it!

@keyettashelton 3 года назад

Great job Katie awesome encouragement from Katie's hubby

@roBLINDhood 6 лет назад

Great job Katie! What a great example of how to help and encourage one another to accomplish new things. :)

@jasonbailey9139 6 лет назад

I love that your wife joins you on projects. Most the time if a wife gets involved it tends to be as executive decision maker or tool sherpa. Thanks for letting her take the lead!

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

It was fun for me to step back and just be the camera man for a change!

@mhaz49 6 лет назад

Nice job. Great addition to your dining room renovation.

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

Thanks Mark! Its so much brighter in there now!

@flippopotamuss 3 года назад

Nice video guys. One thing to remember though, if you are installing a fan in place of a standard lighting fixture, make sure to REPLACE the old junction box with a box that’s rated for the weight of the fan, and the supports needed that fit your project.

@slaterbf 6 лет назад

First a pen, now the light and fan assembly. She's may be looking for some shop space to start her own channel soon. Great job.

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

I'm slowly talking her into more projects, and I think she enjoys it because she's coming up with ideas of her own!

@janinelew2483 6 лет назад

Good job Katie!

@mikec2810 6 лет назад

Awesome job Katie!

@quinnscorner8127 3 года назад

Outstanding job and motivating

@alexmatthews6779 6 лет назад

You did a great Jog Katie! I hope you get to do many more projects. And your sons have a great opinion of the room. ;)

@martinbrace7195 6 лет назад

Well done Katie.

@mountainboy2346 5 лет назад

reference; green wires from the fan (and bracket ) go to the copper wire from outlet box. there might not be a copper wire coming from the ceiling so reference your owner's manual for that. black wires go together, one from the ceiling and one from the fan. Cap the blue wire (light) or connect it with the light wire coming from the fan if you have dual switches fro both light and fan. The neutral wire (white) go together. However the white wire would be tanned out by age, so don't confuse it with the ground wire if you have one.

@rickvanhooren548 6 лет назад

Best video yet...the whole fam involved... Katie is awsome..keep up the great work! Cheers!

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

Thanks Rick!

@Xshinobi2k8 3 года назад

I thought you said Gunpla Designs at the beginning and I got a bit too excited but seriously ty for the video, it helped me out.

@Lutzboater 6 лет назад

Well done !! Steady as a rock with the fan going.

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

Yep, she nailed it!

@FishersShop 6 лет назад

Great job, Katie! :)

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

Thanks Drew!

@janarthanankrish 2 года назад

Hi Katie , great job ! Can I know the brand name of that ceiling fan , I like that design , thanks .

@diis78 4 года назад

and final approval from the little man himself:)))

@paulangeli9710 6 лет назад

Nice work. It's always satisfying to know you completed a home repair or modification. Great video.

@McAVITYourWay. 6 лет назад

Prettiest electrician ever :) and did a great job despite the camera man interfering lol

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

Haha, no kidding! We might have to try out some plumbing next so we can crush the myth of the big fat plumber!

@hungrycolby 6 лет назад

Ha ha ha! "Slimy face" I have one of those too. Good job you guys!

@19mansellcj54 6 лет назад

Well done Katie. It just goes to show, you can do more than you think. Must be time for some more lathe work, don't you think.

@TheBeerbelly007 6 лет назад

Nice job Katie---

@timpgod 6 лет назад

Sweet! Atta girl Katie! Now you make pens, paint paneling, and hang fans. Mark better watch out, taking over his job... :) :)

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

If she keeps being so handy and so popular, I'm just going to build her her own channel to play with.

@supadeluxe 6 лет назад

Job well done. Looks good!

@TheQuiptastic 6 лет назад

Tool sherpa? I TOTALLY NEED a tool sherpa! How have I not known about this?

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

Its really hard to get a good one... the certification process is pretty much a joke, so just about anyone can claim to be a tool sherpa.

@TheEveryMaker 6 лет назад

Nice work Katie! (I say as if we were longtime friends) I appreciate the fact that you let her take the project and run with it Mark, it's easy to be a little too eager when offering your expertise. Having just swapped out a light recently myself, an hour is a pretty respectable time! Great work!

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

SHe's been a really good sport about this whole RU-vid thing. Putting the project together wasn't an issue, being the on-screen presenter is what made her nervous, but I think she nailed it!

@TheEveryMaker 6 лет назад

Gunflint Designs considering it usually takes me a minimum of a dozen takes to get my intro or outro, I think she did an awesome job!

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

Yea me too! I struggle with that every time! She did the intro twice, and you couldn't tell a difference, and she did the outdo 3 times, but that was just so I could get different angles. She nailed her part every time!

@tharemyhopkins5873 6 лет назад

Very well done Katie! Gunflint CFO - Chief Fan Officer! Looks like the 2 quality control officers did their part, too. :)

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

Haha, there was certainly a lot of supervision on hand at all times.

@texasproud3332 5 лет назад

Just watched your ceiling fan install video hopefully prior to install you checked to make sure you’re metal box was mounted properly in the attic

@wiifire8819 2 года назад

I like Hampton bay ceiling fans

@goesintite 6 лет назад

@barryroberts6470 6 лет назад

Nice one Katie you did a great job. Barry (ENG)

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

Thanks Barry, I'll let her know.

@mojo6385 6 лет назад

an hour was longer than you expected? I would have budgeted an hour and gone over that by a wide margin. Looks nice!

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

I figured it would take us 1-2 hours since I had to be in her way with the camera the whole time!

@rakeshbhansali4907 6 лет назад

Excellent! Good job..

@TomIannucci22 6 лет назад

This is the next thing I want to learn!

@mikededmon 6 лет назад

Excellent job too. Great work!

@jamesm568 6 лет назад

It's becoming so hard to find ceiling fan light kits with standard base light bulbs.

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

This one was cheap from Home Depot.

@haroldcrawford8774 3 года назад

Katie, I quit after 1:35 in and wasn’t sure this was safe. Was this a properly supported fan electric box?

@vfreelon1702 6 лет назад

Good job one question I have is did you install a fan rated box or just use the one that was there. Most ppl make this mistake and then wonder why the fan ends up hanging by the wires.

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

I didn't put in a different box, but I made sure the box that's there was well fastened to the rafters. I weighed the new fan and the old light fixture that I removed and they were within half a pound of each other. I figure it that light fixture lasted there since the 70's, it was probably up to the task.

@dmanhaze86 6 лет назад

I think she did a great job! I always try to get my wife to help me with projects so hopefully this will serve as some inspiration to tackle some things herself. (If I can keep myself from butting in and trying to take over!) Great job, everyone!

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

I found that playing cinematographer kept me busy and I didn't try to butt in. I would say try and find something to keep you busy while he does her thing.

@dmanhaze86 6 лет назад

Aha, very clever. I'll have to try that.

@bensummerhill8771 6 лет назад

I have one thats dimmable, so less bright light! Also it has a remote for the blades too. Great work though!!

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

That sounds like a fancy fan!

@uknowulikethat4042 6 лет назад

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

Haha, yes it was. It panicked the auto-exposure for a minute, but the old Sony recovered.

@briano9166 6 лет назад

Can I ask what video editing software do you use?

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

I work with the Adobe suite for my day job, so I am using Premiere Pro.

@lfcbpro 4 года назад

Great blade holding job mate! The rest was ok too :) I would just throw in a quick tip, take the jewellery off before working, you really don't want to damage them and could cause a safety concern if caught in a different type of job (learned from experience, eugh) well done to you both :)

@syedjavedahmad9719 2 года назад

Never use power tools for a fan assembly. The pros said.

@GunflintDesigns 2 года назад

Good thing I'm not a pro then.

@tomaserincasablancalarocqu5086 6 лет назад

@TimsBitsnPieces 5 лет назад

@katthefanenthusiast5793 6 лет назад

Now the ceiling fan is what’s up to date and the light fixture is the ‘outdated 70’s piece’. 😂😉 Welcome to 2018 everyone!

@RAlanMead 6 лет назад

are you guys building a house?

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

Nope, this has just been lots of renovations to our house that was built in 1952.

@JonathanExcels 6 лет назад

What is the box in the ceiling mounted to?

@GunflintDesigns 6 лет назад

It is screwed into the ceiling joist. There was a big ugly and heave light fixture there before so I double checked, but was sure it was secure enough to hold the weight.

@JonathanExcels 6 лет назад

Gunflint Designs that is a very important part omitted from the awesome video. Someone might think a box floating in the drywall or nailed to the side of a joist is enough. That box needs to be solidly attached to preferably two joists. I mount a 2x6 on the flat between two joists and then mount the box to that. It’s heavy and spins and wobbles and will work itself loose over time unless solidly supported. I am not an expert but all of the ones I have hung are still there. Congratulations to both of you.
