You know what really makes you feel stupid? When the electrician comes to fix the kitchen light/fan flips a wall switch behind the coffee pot....

I always thought that switch was for the back porch light and WTF it tied to the kitchen light and fan?

I still think we'll have the whole thing replaced because ...yuck, its got some 30 years or more of grunge and goo built up on it

Responses:

Two switches for the fixture (a 3-way)? Not unusual. Odd place to put the switch, though. - TWuG Jul 17, 14:13 4
- there are the pull chains to turn on the lights and fan, didn't realize the wall switch on the counter behind the coffee pot was connected -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 17, 14:23 3
  - Ah. Just the single switch. No other wall switch controls it? - TWuG Jul 17, 14:26 2
    - it just seems counter intuitive when one switch flips an outside light and an inside unit -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 17, 14:54 1
      - leave it on, control the fan with the chains, attach a motion or darkness sensor to control the outside one -- nm - zork Jul 17, 15:12
whoops. I figured out something at my mom's was like that, too, just as they were about to call for a repair person. -- nm - b. Jul 17, 14:10
