After Michael finished opening his birthday/Christmas present (see this post), he quickly plugged in the batteries to charge so they would be ready for our next project. Both the fan and the drill arrived together on the same day, so that weekend, the drill received its inaugural use as we hung the fan. It proved to be a little more difficult than our bedroom fan, partly because we were using a wood screw to screw through metal (possibly due to the angled ceiling). It doesn't work so well. :) We had to take a little break from hanging the fan to run to Home Depot and get some metal screws.
This is what happens when you use a wood screw and try to go through metal
The metal screws we bought didn't quite screw in tightly either, so we cheated (note the extra washers on the right side of the second picture. Click to enlarge, if needed)
After struggling all morning with the fan, we went up to Michael's Family cabin (up in Heber) with some friends. It was a relaxing end to a busy day.
