After much ado, we finally got our whole ebay/light switch shenanigans worked out! Now we are the proud owners of a remote control fan/light dimmer switch in our bedroom! I installed it last night, and I like it so much Alison thought she might wake up in the middle of the night to find me playing with the remote… Andrea will be glad to hear I turned off the circuit breaker before I installed the switch… no sparks this time… The new switch replaced two analog switches, so until i can find a blank Lutron style rectangle filler wall plate I put an electrical outlet next to our switch… (see photo). It’s not quite ideal, visually, but it works anyway for the time being until Alison let’s me tear a new hole in the wall for a single switch box… neat…
Thanks, Yiayia, for the great gift!

Very nice! And thanks for turning off the circuit breaker–don’t care for the afro look:)
