No, unless there's a few hundred dollars worth of safety stuff that's being added since the last nest I did 10 years ago.
So you can test both motor and light before spending time on the blades. Just remember to switch the breaker off when you do the blades -- safely is important.

Reply to Help with ceiling fan by Logen-Grimlock
From the ceiling, red and black are separate power (hot) wires. One for the light (blue) and one for the fan (black)
So red to blue, and black to black.

You should try 77. Do the math...you get eight more.

Reply to Crown moulding — single bevel saw by MisterCanoeHead
If your sawblade is big enough.... make a fixture to hold the crown upside down and backwards against the fence.(the base of the mitersaw is the ceiling, the fence is the wall)
Then just cut 45s.

Reply to Ideas on how to fix a gate latch by stinkinhardcore
Have a metalworker make a new bar that mounts to the front wall (around that corner) and is bent to go back around the corner and then extend to where it needs to be.

Reply to Is there anything I can spray inside my cement mixer to stop clumps sticking to the sides? by wotmate
I put the water in, turn it on, then slowly add the mix so that it's dropping mostly into the water.

If the hinges are on the other side, then the "door stop" trim piece is on your side. Remove that trim, and you'll have much better access to the latch.

Can you remove the trim molding, and try that way?

Cement board, and red guard waterproofing-- because tile and grout are not waterproof.
And it's possible that a lack of waterproofing is the reason the drywall was soft.

Reply to Removing Tile Adhesive by solracarevir
True terrazzo in a house is amazingly uncommon, due to the huge expense of installing it. The framing needs to be lower than other floors, so that the specialized concrete can be thick enough. And the grinding/ polishing process takes days, while paying artisan wages.
Before I spent anything other than time, I'd want to be absolutely certain that's real terrazzo. Might be tile that looks like it.

Reply to How to safely ground this neutral wire by asuhayda
Be careful when messing with k&t. It's been almost 40 years, but I found a circuit that had a light switch on the neutral side. I wasn't working on the whole house, so there may have been many more of those.

Are you asking about that really well planned, well rehearsed well staged event? They both should have gotten awards for that performance.

If you haven't thought about this yet...
You'll need a ring shower curtain to keep the shower water inside the tub. Without this, serious damage can be caused by oversprayed or splashed water.
