Good morning Brett!  I hope your Christmas week is off to a grand start.  It’s quiet in the office so I am thinking of you, hoping your back is better and you are ready for the holiday festivities.  Are you traveling?  I’ll be at my sister’s, very happy not to host or cook or travel far.  I hope Santa finds you wherever you are!

Hung another the fan too. I love it in here
7:52pm
I’ve never lived with ceiling fans… what do they do?
7:53pm Phil
They cool in summer and circulate the air in winter so all the warm air does not sit on the ceiling and they have a light
Been a busy day. Got friends over helping my wife put things up.
