  • problems hooking up overhead fan?

    Do It Yourself (DIY) - 8 hours ago

    Additional Details

    okay, I am having problems with this stupid fan, I am sure I have the wires connected right, the green is connected to the bare, the white to the white, black to black and red to blue. But when I turn on the switch, the fan doesnt turn on. Its not the breaker, it has power.. what should I do? yes i tried the chains, but it still doesnt work. I just tried rewiring it, (ceiling first) white to white, black to blue, red to black, and bare to green, and the second switch worked with the fan, but the light still doesnt work. i have 2 switches and no idea what you mean by hots the fan has a blue, green, white, and black wire. the ceiling has white, black, bare and red. I have no idea what to hook up and what not, and I moved this from one room to another, so I dont have a manual. okay randy so to attach the fan to one switch attach them both to the black one? well i tried attaching both the blue and black from the fan to both the black and the red from the ceiling. if they are attached to the black, nothing works. If they are attached to the red, the light works, but the fan still doesnt okay i have the light turning on, but the fan isnt working, i think you are right and that there is a problem with the switch wiring. Is it difficult to fix this?

    The plumber changed the wax ring and I just noticed from the old caulk stain that the toilet was not put back onto the exact same spot. It's placed about 1 cm. behind the old spot. Will this cause any leakage or problems, or is this ok? Thanks for helping!

Finally
Diagonal Braces

While it is upside down, attach the diagonal braces. These should be cut from a 2x4. They should be cut with a ~ 17 degree angle roughly 44 inches per side. These should be cut to fit.

Make sure the legs are square with the top, the braces will hold them square. Set these offset from each other so you can nail into each of them from opposite sides of the center cross board. Nail them into the seat stretchers as well, when you are sure the length will hold the legs square. Now flip the table right side up and nail two 2x4's between the seat stretchers. Finally nail the two 2x10 seats in place on top of the seat stretchers and the 2x4 seat supports.Before nailing these in place, measure the distances between the stretchers so again you are ensuring the table is square.

Finishing

You can leave the table with no finish and it will weather a light grey, or you can apply a sealer a stain or paint.

    I am a carpentry teacher in a high school in Raleigh. My school needs six large size tables. Do you feel you plan is strong enough and can hold up to big kids?
