Folks, It was easy for me to replace the ceiling fan/light in the upstairs bathroom as I could attack if from the attic, where everything was right there and open for me. I now would like to do the same with the ceiling fan/light in the downstairs bathroom (1st floor), but my problem is that I don't have the handy attic to get at it from. I took off the cover from the existing light/fan, and I see the box, which is about the same size as the hole cut in the wallboard ceiling. I just do not see how I can get the box out without ripping apart the ceiling. I would really like to be able to do this without messing with the ceiling wall if I can.
What to do? Has anyone done this and what was your strategy? Thanks for any help here, Tomes
