Side Note. Would anyone else like to see a code change to require a fan rated box (or at least metal) in every bedroom, family room, breakfast room, or any room a heavy fixture or fan is likely to be installed?
that wouldn't bother me at all. I would probably word it any habitable room over xft X xft. exceptions: bathrooms, closets ..... pendants over an island... hmmmm. this could get haphazard enforcement.
How about use common sense..... hmmmm...... that could get difficult too.
