So I live in an apartment.  I wouldn't exactly call it a crap shack but it's far from fancy. 
I called the apartment office because whenever I turned the ceiling fan on, I got this high pitch bad noise.  So they send over one of the "trusty" maintenance men to check it out.  He oils something etc but it still makes noise so he orders me a new one.

Now I know it's easy to watch other people do things and think you could do them better, but watching the install was painful.  After flipping almost every breaker, they finally found the right one and were able to take down the old fan.  It was only after the old fan was down and we were sitting in the dark that they opened the box for the new fan and went to put it together.  I think it might have made more sense to put the new fan together with the light on, instead of by flashlight, but what do I know??

So the new fan is this hideous ghetto gold color that uses fancy sized light bulbs.  Obviously this product was purchased solely based on it's low price point and not by it's well researched features.   Atleast it's quiet.
