Five-Minute Fanfare

BF, "Do you notice anything different?"
TF, "OH!  You installed the dining table light!"
BF, "Keep looking."
TF, "What is it?  I don't see anything."
BF, "Keep looking.  You don't see anything different?"
TF long pause, "OH!!! You installed a fan!"
BF, "Wow, that took you a long time."

Due to the width of the spiral staircase, we thought were limited to a specific fan-type and/or fan diameter. We worried a small fan wouldn't move enough air around the open living room. We also worried mischievous kids would be curious to see if they could touch the fan blades while playing on the staircase.  

I wanted a contemporary modern fan with a remote. BF thought we should considered an enclosed fan. Both options are expensive and we couldn't wait any longer. Spring and summer were quickly approaching in Jacksonville. Even with air conditioning, ceiling fans are a necessity in Northeast Florida.

While selecting the dining table light, BF saw this Hunter 44-inch Five-Minute fan. We used a similar one in the upstairs guest bedroom. Excuse the pun, but it was a breeze to assemble and install. It literally takes five minutes to put together. BF said the only phase that took additional time was installing the wiring and downrod. Despite its builder-grade look, it works wonderfully and cools down the living room.
