Thanks fellas.


Yeah but you don't need it. You can do the same thing with lumber. The
idea is just to fasten that ceiling box to the joists in some
substantial way. I use a 2 x 4 spanning two joists from above, and build
down from there with shorter pieces between the joists until I get to
something I can screw the box to. I'm sure I could hang a V-8 engine
block from my fans.

Ok, so the lowes product will work?




Yes, it will work. The thing you're talking about was probably discussed in
your fan's instruction manual, which you threw away.



Real men don't read the instructions. They just whine when an item
doesn't work like it should. Hence the tv show Home Improvement. Ooooo
Ooooo Ooooo
