	It looks like the renter just attached the fan to the existing ceiling-light fixture in each room. That fixture was anchored to the rafters, but with a fairly flimsy metal-bar which was obviously never intended to hold more than a few kilos.

At that point, I realized it would need to be a construction zone instead of a workroom for awhile, and moved out as much of the delicate stuff as I could over the next few weeks. I also removed the fan, to reduce the pull on the ceiling and the impact of what would eventually come down.

			This all started because of a combination of factors:
			* During the 1990s, the house was a rental property and the renter installed heavy ceiling fans in the master bedroom and the workroom, both using inadequate bracing.
			* Something was done, at some point, to one of the rafters to which the workroom fan was attached, making it prone to sagging.

			It looks like the renter just attached the fan to the existing ceiling-light fixture in each room. That fixture was anchored to the rafters, but with a fairly flimsy metal-bar which was obviously never intended to hold more than a few kilos.

			The one in the [[master bedroom]] was already cracking in the early 2010s, and I finally had the resources to [[2012/ceiling repair\|repair it in 2012]].

			The one in the workroom (pictured here) had been cracked for a comparable amount of time but didn't seem to be getting any worse until roughly April 2026 (see [[2026/04/30]]).
