How easy is it to install a ceiling fan? Any special tips? Can I do it
by myself? Handy man businesses cost a lot.

As another post mentioned, if there's an electrical box already in the
ceiling, you can do it yourself. Actually, it's fairly easy, if you're
handy with a screwdriver, and can use a wire stripper.

However, since you don't know what you're doing, I'd recommend you
invite a friend or relative who's done some home electrical work, to
kibbitz and offer free advice while he/she sips from the cold libations
you've thoughtfully provided.

If this kind of help is nowhere to be found, there are many
do-it-yourself homeowner's repair manuals which go through this. I'd
recommend the Readers Digest Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual. It
provides a lot of pictures, and I believe it's got two pages
specifically on ceiling fan installation.

Good luck
