I can feel your pain at wiring that first fan. I installed a nos Hampton bay Cheshire ceiling fan in my brother’s room to replace his broken armitage ii fan. How did the previous owners wire up the fan, the neutral wire coming out of the box was unbelievable short and it was a freak show just to wire up the fan. Eventually I got it wired and when it came to installing the shroud around the motor, the screws that were meant to hold up the shroud were all badly stripped from the factory and none would budge until I had my dad loosen them but only one would loosen so the shroud is being held up by one screw and friction. The rest was smooth sailing until it came to the test once the whole fan was done. It did not power up and I do not know why, nothing happened when I flipped the switch. Breaker was on the whole time as most of my electrical panel is unlabeled. I am going to have to redneck the fan just to get it working just for a few months of service as my house is getting demolished very soon.
You know those Fasco World's Fair ceiling fans with the six Kane blades think of how those would look in your living room two of those on either end that would look awesome and then chandelier in the middle like a small one that would be pretty cool looking I think
My mom's house is 138 years old and has not been to wiring and I keep trying to convince her to get rid of it and she will not listen to me but yeah that's how I'm going I installed some ceiling fans there and they look awesome cuz of the really high feelings I say they're almost 10 to 12 foot
A dimmer wouldn't burn out a ceiling fan due to a dimmer lowering the voltage of what its connected to it would burn out if you overvolted the thing though
