fyi, the rims can be painted after installation. Charliedawg, our plugs are perfect. With the lakeview, fireplace, tv, open kitchen and arches to DR and foyer, there is really only one natural place for our sofa. I knew we wanted to put a sofa table behind it, so we left room for that and enough room to walk between table and the cedar posts at the kitchen opening. The electrician said there was no rush since the plugs were going into the main level, which is second story, so we were able to wait until house was framed to decide exactly where they were going. DH and I used empty boxes to place where the sofa and measured to make sure there was enough room behind for table. (You can see the two cans in the kitchen we didn't need :( ) Here is a link that might be useful: Great room

trisha57 ny, hey I forgot to respond to you. Yeah, I have seen pics of the fans with palm leaves...I really do like that look. I'm just not sure it would go in my very rustic old lake place. Maybe it would. I'm kinda looking for an old vintage look.....if that makes any sense? Course, as I've said in another post, one person's vintage is not necessarily the next person's vintage. Thank for posting to me!!! pup

We live in the midwest, where the nights are often cooler. But, we have a lot of humidity in the air. Last year I had a heating and cooling guy stop by and talk to me about whole house fans. Since it pulls the cool air from outside, the humidity comes right in with it. I'm not sure where you live, but that may be a factor. He told me to go with just a regular attic fan to draw out some hot air. We have an upstairs (which I will definitely never get again. I grew up in a ranch and miss it every day.) Obviously, warm air rises so the upstairs is really hot. In my parent's home it feels like a strong breeze running throughout the home when it runs. The only thing is that with a two story it just doesn't pull quite as good as a ranch. One thing he did was to tell me what vents to close in the summer to make sure the cool air draws to the right places (random ones, not ones in rooms we don't use). That helped a lot! Have a cooling guy stop by and ask him. He may provide you with good information. BTW, a whole house fan for ours was to be I think 2500 (our home is 2500 sf). And, the attic fan was just 800 or 1000. I'm sure a good guy could diy. Some food for thought. Good luck! Kim
