baddog's tip of the day

If you have a ceiling fan, and use an extension to lower it down, be advised that after 12-15 years, you might want to consider going up on a ladder and make sure that the constant spinning has not caused it to loosen itself.

I lucked out this evening when I went down to my den, turned the fan and lights up a little, and sat down on my couch to enjoy dinner.

Suddenly the fan and lights came falling straight down onto me, only stopping because I did such a great job of connecting the power to it. But it was a very close call.

So, every few years you might want to take a look and see how it is hanging so to speak.
