1. Some chinese guy
Hey, when Coca Cola means "Bite the Wax Tadpole" you know you are in for an adventure. Be sure to switch off the power when you hook it up, and stand back when you reconnect it!

2. I've got the old fan down and the new fan is in the bracket.
I'm at the point of connecting wires. Shit! I need a fucking beer!

Or some xanax.

:grr:

3. Take both beer and drugs, then connect
the black (or red) wire from the fan to the black wire in the junction box, and the white wire to the white, and the green or bare wire to ground (either a bare wire in the junction box or to the box istelf, and don't skip this step).

And tape your wire nuts! Seriously.

Unless your fan also has a light, in which case all the beer and Xanax in the world won't help.
