Back in the 80's I decided to add ceiling fans in both my mother in law's house and also in her mother's house. They both were widowed and living by themselves. The older lady still had only one phone on a shelf in the hall.
I bought four fans, two for each house. All four locations were wired much the same, with the external part of the light fixtures I was replacing being the "hot" side.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
