    Just do it now and hope you can get back in the little lady’s grace before the cats start to bite. It is amazing that guys like you and I can find women that will tolerate us at all, much less wonderful women that actually like us (go figure).
    You are a smarter man than this so just go do it NOW!

    Planned obsolescence is the way to go . Swap the fans around, but botch up the job horribly. Her confidence in your handyman skills will diminish, and she won’t want you to do anything around the house ever again. Good Luck

    2 pm update:

    I was just instructed to take a nap (I think this is what’s called a “time out”) because some people think I’m a bit crabby today….and they went to get more paint.

    On a side note…the “no’s” were ahead all day…I thought I would atleast feel better knowing I was backed by you guys…What Happened!!!!

    Fisher Sherry? You aren’t voting more than once are you!??

    I voted YES.

    She lets you go fishing, she bought you a 4 wheeler, Last BUT most important she puts up with all of your antics.
    It is the least you can do for her.

    P.S. I hope this doesnt affect our cattin outing this year.

    Briank, I just read this to my wife, and she’s behind you 100%, she says stand your ground, who looks up anyway. That’s one womens view.

    Slider…are you on my side???

    So after putting up a stink all weekend…sticking to my guns…she suggested today that we should stop in Hudson this morning and “just check out caskets.”

    So I was planning on putting a smile on the little woman’s face by haveing the two light fixtures change by the time she comes home from work Monday…yeah..how does that go…

    “‘ell hath no fury as the womans scorn”….

    So, I’m all set to give up the ghost…when I get a PANFISH PM! I love them! Almost guarentee’s a sunfish dinner!

    Soooo… I’m going to have to suffer through Thursday!

    PS Have you checked the prices on caskets lately!! WOW!

    I voted,
    but got a reply that said I alreay did, (but am sure I had not before.
    you could always run some trot lines down south and run the boat under a tree, and have a few Cotton -mouths fall into the boat. No problem Maaaan.
    best of luck, but you are right, either way you lost.

    Well I had to vote yes because I just know how it works…
    BUT – Think duct tape! They make it in all kinds of colors.
    You would be done in 15 minutes

    i just cant get past the “let you go fishing” statement! im still laughing.. that statement would cause me to not want to do it, however, a case of budweiser might just help get the job done and avoid all the bs! i voted no but experience tells me, get the beer, say “yes dear whatever you say” and git er done, sometimes you gotta take a dive!

    I would plead…I do not know how to swap fans. But I guess, you are beyond that now.

    How long have you been Married. Put fishing aside for a moment, think real hard. Have you ever won with the favorite wife. I have only been married for 4 1/2 years but I have already learned two things. There is her way, and my way as long as my way is her way I can win!!!! Putting up a couple fans for her would deffinitly be the way to go.

    I have one question to add. First of all, I voted No, but my question is, how many people are ever in the laundry room or your office? if it was a living room situation, I could understand, but a laundry room and an office, leave em be.

    And brian, you have my permission to go fishing

    There. Just finished cleaning out and painting the bedroom closet that my wife casually mentioned needed doing. Once I get the towels folded and the dishwasher emptied, she should be well pleased with me tonight.

    So you see, Deb, we’re not all cads that need to go on a website to do favors for their wives.

    And how was your day, Brian?

    Let me get this straight Brian. Your taking on the woman that cleans your poopy underwear over a ceiling fan move?
    I think you know where my vote went…..

    I am enjoying this one. Find a catting buddy that is also an electrician. Get them to put in 3 new fans in exchange for a catting trip. If they are good friends they can get them to you at their cost. and you get a bud to go fishing with and your fishing would get her what she wants. Hows that for positive reinforcement. I have my wife nearly trained she looks at the weather report now before planning some kind of sissy bs for us to do.

    Sound a little cantankerous Ol’ Fart!
    I went gilling with the crew from Hooked on Fishing…

    By the way, you have some paint in your hair…oppsy, that’s lute…never mind.

    Whisker! You’re a genius! I’ll have them come tomorrow while I’m on P4! They should be done by the time she gets home from work…oh, wait…that means she wins!

    All you guys have me cracking up with your responses!

    …and to the folks that sent PM’s, thanks for the offer.

    …and to the one fella…no, I would never consider hitting my favorite wife.

    Missed a couple,

    DRH1175, 25 years, 3 months, 18 days….and roughly 4 hours…but who’s counting.

    Skippy, to answer your question…since I moved the laundry room upstairs…no more than 10 people in 10 years…and two of them were buidling a wall and HAD to go in there.

    In my office…many, many more…at least 20 over a 14 year period. Never heard anyone say, dang Brian! That ceiling fan really clashes with your colors! Well, I guess Catten Addict did mention something….

    I suppose you can “win” by saying that you are going to remodel the rooms so that the decor matches the fans in the respectable rooms. Then technically you won because you didn’t have to change the fans.

    Tell her you pulled the covers off and determined that some jicky jack electrician put metric wiring in the laundry room.

    The cost of making it standard would be into the thousands.
