Whats the best way to run wire out to the middle of an open beam ceiling?
I'm going to install a ceiling fan in order to help lower the heat rather than just losing it out of the ceiling, and also to help circulate throughout the rest of the house. Obviously I can't run a wire through the attic in this area.
The people who lived there before installed a box over the dining area for a chandeleir(SP?) and they just routed a groove in the wood between the beams, tacked the wire down and painted it to match. It looks terrible, so i'll be covering that one with something as well, but I want to do MINE the right way. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
