Ceiling fan installation-unusual sloped wooden ceiling
My dining room/great room area is sloped, with a single layer of cedar boards for the ceiling rather than a standard sheetrock ceiling with room above in an attic. There is no room above the ceiling to drill into and install an electrical box. The current lighting fixture is a chandelier that is physically mounted on the ceiling itself--which IS very stable and solid--but instead of being wired directly into the ceiling, there is a plug-in cord that goes from the fixture to a cedar beam a few feet away. This beam does have a wiring box, with a plug, connected through the wall, to a dimmer switch in the wall.
So, the two issues we must solve for a ceiling fan are:
1) sloped ceiling (not so hard to do probably)
2) very different wiring than usual
Does anyone know of a ceiling fan that can easily convert to a plug in? Or should I just wire it to a regular power cord myself?
