I grew up seeing my dad once a year. I cannot express the pain I felt from that. Thank you so much for your content. Thank you, Dad.
I totally understand how you feel. I also grew up without barely seeing my father, we have a good relationship but with the pandemic I haven't seen him for 2 years (this summer will be 3 🙁)
i got to see my dad until he died when i was 5/

Why
@@derrickoson how
My dad was always hurtful and abusive. My mom neglected me for awhile. I'm fortunate to have found you
I'm so sorry ❤️.
I have a dad but I am still thankful to you. You give people who grow up without a dad the experience they missed out on. On behalf of all of those people I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Ever since i lost my father in july 25th 2020, i felt so heart broken because i lost him, and i never learn anything new. But after i came across this channel. I have now learned alot of things, because of you. Thank you so much for helping through the past year, helping me know so much things. Thank you once again, dad.
Dad, how do i fix a broken seat?
i'm very sorry for you i hope you will feel better
I'm sorry you lost your dad. 🙏
What type of seat are you trying to fix?
@@DadhowdoI i think it's one of those fur models. Its middle seat's holder broke
Are you referring to a couch?
@@pamellahakala5018 yesn't
I bought two of these from Costco MONTHS ago. My father and husband have been putting it aside because they’re afraid to do it lol I’m going to surprise them and do it myself
I hope you know how impactful you and your channel have been on the world. Thank you for filling a void that I've always had in my life ❤️
Thankfully, I still have my father, but he almost never has time to teach me how to do stuff around the house. The reason why is because he works a lot. I appreciate your vids.
As a single mom, my son and I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for filling a void that so many other men create. 💜
Thanks, dad. I wanted to purchase one but didn’t know how to install it, so I held off. Many thanks for being there for me and everyone else.
Always so appreciated!! I am a woman and the handiperson in my home. Really appreciate Your help!!
we had replaced 2 lights, and 2 ceiling fans, and this helps me understand why we got into some of the problems we had
I have a dad but he wasn’t really driven to teach me stuff so I never learned how to do stuff like this from him, so thank you for posting these, they are very helpful
Omg WE JUST BOUGHT THIS FAN. I think my husband knows how to install it but I'll have him watch your vid just in case😊
I love my dad dearly, but he was never patient with me and always tried to rush me when we were working on stuff when I was younger. Thankful for you channel, that way I can learn this stuff and hopefully teach my child someday.
I lost my dad when I was 5.... thank you... this made me cry... cuz this is so essential to any man... a father is so important! Thank you!
I'm 65 years old, and I never knew how to install a ceiling fan. We have 4 old ones here and none of them work. You made it look so easy, that even someone like me just might be able to install one, or two, or three or even all four. The lights on them work, but the fans don't. I'll more than likely be buying 4 of the Hunter Fans, because I can very easily copy what you've done step by step, pausing the video, as I go along. Thanks "Dad" If you want, I can keep you abreast of my progress.
Did you do it!
Growing up in a broken family, I'd only seen my father occasionally and that didn't last long since he died when I was just around 10 years old. Now that I am 22, I just realized that not being around a father made me question everything around me (since I am the only man in our family, though the youngest at that) and I realize that I do not really know anything on how to be a responsible man, because I was never thought to be a man.
Stumbling here at your channel had made me learn more about the world that I don't know. So thank you, sir, for your content. It's more than a video for me, it's a life lesson.
Wow, that is amazing. I’m so sorry about the beginning of your life, but I’m glad that you’ve found this channel now.
God this was so helpful. After having a discharge at work from a industrial steam table go through me I been afraid to mess with electrical.
Thank you for the step by step and encouragement along the way! Makes us all feel empowered to tackle projects around the house!
Just installed two of these Hunter Dempsey fans in both my kids' rooms this weekend and was feeling real defeated with the instructions that came with it. SO GLAD I found your video - you saved me so much time and agony! Great video and thank you!
I have a father, but he never taught me anything about repairs (didnt have the patience to explaine me) , so I figure out most of it by myself or by my uncles, thanks to you I've learned so much. greetings from Mexico dad
$150!! Thats what it costed me last week to have 2 fans installed by a local handyman 🤑. For my next fan.. Im doing it! Thank you!!
When I moved to my new house my dad taught me how to install the fan. This reminds me of my dad. Love you Dad!
I don't watch all the videos, but I know if I need to learn something around the house, this is the channel to go to! Please keep up the awesomeness!
I love how he dummies it down for us. To be sure he meets ALL our needs. Some don't know certain things so I appreciated the details.
This is great. I used to follow my Dad around watching him work on the house and the addition. When I was 10 remember being on the roof with him. He was so patient with me and always tolerated my shadowing.
I swear you must read my mind. My husband and I put out grass seed a month ago and bought a ceiling fan yesterday. Love you dad ❤❤
I could have done with this a few months ago. I managed to do it with the husband and read through the instructions meticulously. Thanks dad. X
Grew up without a dad and never had anyone to ask all this stuff. Thanks so much!
Are you okay baby pathuttu vanthurikingala?
I love your content so much. My dad is a maintenance technician and has been for 18+ years, but I live half way across the country and he can't help me do things like he use to. So he's recommended me this channel for my How To needs. Thank you for being the bridge of support. (Now we need a Dad, How Do I: Toilet Replacement/Toilet wont stop running)
Thank you so much you're helping me a lot. I still have my father but he does not have time for me and I grow up alone since 8 years and your channel is really helping me with my personal glow up. Thanks a lot ❤️
I was looking for this exact fan installation yesterday because the instructions were not dummed down for a newbie like me. Now I found you one day later, I did exactly what you did but my old fan didn't have a connector box in the ceiling; it was just a wire coming thru a hole. went up the attic and the old fan was supported by a 2x4. I was undecided about adding a box since everything look/felt strong but, I read somewhere that no box is a no-no due to the fire hazard soo... I had to do it the right way; bought a ceiling brace and box kit, drilled hole on the ceiling inserted the brace tighten it, then attached the box and now I feel proud of what I did.
👏🏻👏🏻
I love this channel! My dad was a contractor but passed away when I was really you, my stepdad hasn't been a real father figure to me in my life, so when I need things like this it's really nice to have you around, 'Dad'
I haven't been able to watch your content in a while - lost my Dad in October of last year. Like you, he was a handy man and taught me all of the important things in life like the difference between a philip's and flat head screwdriver. We didn't always get along - but I still miss being able to call him up and ask him how to do something. Same with my Mom (she passed the month following). But, I'm just sitting here crying - so I'm not ready yet. But I'm really glad these videos are here for me when I am ready
I'm sorry you lost your dad and mom. 🙏
I lost my Father to covid just 10 days ago, he was the coolest and friendliest dad ever. We had so many things planned for after the lockdown and covid ends, but they all just remain plans now. I loved him, and I can't express how comforting this channel has been for me. I found your channel 2 months ago, but ever video feels totally different now. Thank you my TH-cam dad.
And how do I fix a clogged sink.?
Thank you for this!! I have had a fan sitting on my porch for 4 months because I didn't know how to install. Lol!
I’ve had a new ceiling fan in a box for about 7 years!
Thank you for this. I have to tackle this soon. This is a wonderful deed you’re doing for those of us who didn’t have a parent to teach us, especially as a woman. 🙏
I actually have a new ceiling fan I need to install, your video came at the perfect time! Thank you dad!
This video reminds me of growing up and helping my Dad around the house, from replacing a dishwasher to the time we were fixing the lamp outside to helping him with yard work. My Dad is still alive, I love him and we do talk and all that, but this kind of video does take me back to that time when I'm in middle or high school and helping him out.
Came here after seeing are you ok baby ? Such a kind man you are 🙂
😁😁🙋♀️🙋♀️✋✋
My wife and i watched your vid step by step as we installed our hunter fan. Thanks for the help!
I did this with my father last weekend ❤️
I love this. I've been wanting a ceiling fan for my living/dining room that has only one overhead light. Thank you for being my internet dad.
I barely saw my dad growing up and I’m happy I found your channel to learn how to do things like this. Thanks Dad!!
This man is a legend.
My father died when I was around 6 and I'm 13 now, me and my mother have had to do many things by ourselves and I always watch Rob's channel to figure out how to do things since my mother is growing older, and needs me to do more. But without this man I wouldn't have been able to do half the stuff I'm able to. Plus my father was a terrible drug addict, and he'd beat my mom and then take me away from her when I was around 3. He would also threaten suicide. I look up to Rob and he has helped me out alot, I think this man needs more credit than he gets already
❤️ 💜
I installed this exact model fan/light kit today. Your video was a huge help. The ground pigtail tip was a home run. Proper grounding of the fan would have been very difficult, without using the pigtail method you recommended. I must say, the manufacturer’s instructions were not great. Thank you so much for sharing your installation with us!
Thanks, glad it helped. I thought the instructions were a little unclear myself, but since the video was sponsored, I thought I probably shouldn’t say that. 👍🏻
@@DadhowdoI 👍🏻
Thanks for posting this video as it is much better than the printed instructions! I like how you go through each step in a deliberate manner. I installed the fan in my son’s room, he is very happy!
Great, glad it helped you. 👍
Thank you for this! I have a couple light fixtures I need to replace and a ceiling fan I’d like to replace and I had no idea if it was something I could do on my own.
I have a great dad that gave me confidence to try new projects. He was busy this weekend helping his 101 year old dad. So this video helped me tackle a scary new project. ❤ Happy father's day!
It’s so crazy I found your channel as a single parent and my son one day will also watch your videos ❤
Heard about you and think that what your doing is absolutely amazing. Nothing but love and respect.
This is right on time!! I was just telling my husband I want to put up a ceiling fan tomorrow. Thanks!!
Key to task you are unfamiliar with, take your time.
this is so wholesome and helpful. thank you for making this content to help everyone. i love you
Just came across your page....LOVE THIS IDEA. You are a great inspiration and wish we had more people like you. I myself grew up without a father...44yrs old now with 3 boys of my own...and i have my kids watching you now too. Thank you Rob
My dad is in my life, but my grandpa wasn’t in my dad’s, and you can tell, because he doesn’t know most of this stuff to teach me, though he tries his best when I ask. I want to break the pattern my grandfather started. Thank you
Hey Dad! 👍😊 Great Dad joke! 😂🤣👏 That is awesome...I guess it would be the same if you just wanted to change a different light fixture without the fan, right? 👍👏😊 Great job Dad! 😊
That's correct Julie. 👌
@@DadhowdoI I actually bought a new light fixture years ago for my dining room. I might try to tackle it now. It’s been sitting in the box in a spare room for years...Thanks Dad! 👍😊
Okay! I'm going to attempt mine 😁 This one seemed a bit more involved. Thanks a bunch for the video! Wish me luck 🤞🏼
This was super helpful. Very clear and answered some questions that were unclear from the printed instructions. Thanks!
Anyone after are you ok baby video 👍👍👍👇👇👇👇👇
😁😁😁🤚🤚🤚
Yes
@@JJ-gs5ic 😁😁
Yes bro🤣
Mee
This channel is amazing this is truly so wholesome and reminds me that there are still good people in the world ❤️
I remember remotes like that! Still have mine from my old house as well as the Hunter kitchen fan that went with it. Always loved Hunter fans, always nicely made, quiet, and efficient. I'll have to reinstall that fan and the remote someday here.
THANK YOU- this video could not have come at a better time as I chose this weekend to install this exact fan in our bedroom. You made this so easy for me, and you were so fun to follow along with 😍🥰

FROM ARE YOU OK BABY CHANNEL
NEW KID TO YOUR CHANNEL 🔥
Thank you so much , was most helpful to understand the wiring and install ..I've had the exact model you used for video, to replace an old ceiling fan, but to intimidated to try it myself.
That has always been my issue...getting overwhelmed. Great advice, to slow down....break it down into steps. I live on a boat so i dont think ill need this knowledge😂 but thanks to you, i could if needed. I appreciate you ,looking forward to your book!
Hai dad I am from India , TAMIL NADU just a while ago I saw a news about you on a thug life channel and after watching your channel I really liked you
Dad love you so much 😘😘😘😘
Finally been wanting to put one up in my room lol
Thanks dad,I'm a girl and no one taught me how to install a ceiling fan
Ps your videos make me so happy ❤️
Just found out about this channel on Linkedin and immediately searched TH-cam for you. As a person who had lost his dad at age of 5, I really feel that and love it!
Thanks for you sincere support and advice. A new subscription from me!
My father is not friend to me but while watching your video i felt i had good father ♥️♥️ Thank you dad❣️❣️
i never had a good dad your the best god bless you
I just saw you on 700 Club. Thanks for all that you do, lot of dadless people out there! God bless you!
Growing up without a dad, you are a god send. We love you.
Add to "cut the power": may want an inexpensive VOM (Volt-OhmMeter) and test, make sure you flipped the right circuit breaker and power is actually off.
I like putting labels next to breakers about what they feed. A label maker works well.
If it's possible that someone will turn the breaker back on while you are working on it, or maybe as a habit, put a wire nut or electrical tape on the bare end of the black (hot) wire to insulate it.
Great video! Very helpful. Only thing that confused me was the grounding screw. I added a short wire like you, but then had to phone Hunter about something else and asked about it. The rep I spoke with said to just put the screw in and no need to add an extra wire going to the ceiling ground.

Just used this video to actually install my fan. Thank you!!!
My dads an alcoholic,never delete this channel. Thank you!
Great sponsor and great video, dad! We love you!
Hey dad can you show us how to prep prime and paint metal properly
Nice, very nice 🙂
I don't need to know this now. But I am confident that I will one day. So I'm liking this to keep this channel going. I'm confident there'll be other stuff that I will need to know in the future.
I appreciate you more than you’d ever know. Thank you! Great video. I appreciate you going step by step as you did. All the best dad 🤙
Thanks for the encouragement Casey. 🙏🏻
Thankyou for everything you've taught to us, we really appreciate it and we thankyou for taking time out of your day to help us have the knowledge that our fathers won't teach us... Get it because they aint around😂
I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO, GREAT AND HELPFUL ONE. I WAS ABLE TO DO IT MYSELF. Thank you boss.
I ended up having to replace a ceiling fan on my birthday two days ago, so this video was a surprise gift. Thanks Dad!
Thank you! You saved us. The instructions Hunter included needs some help for the non experts. Made no sense to us!
Awesome, I need to do this soon for my home!!
Love your videos and what you're doing, but in this case you really need to let the kids know that when you replace a ceiling light fixture with a fan you need a box that is rated to carry the fan's weight. In many cases, you will need to cut out that old box and replace it with an "old work" style fan brace to carry the weight. Especially if the old box is loose, which is surprisingly often the case. Otherwise, the weight of the new fan can pull that box right off the joists and down onto your loved ones.
Thank you so much for the video. It helped me a lot to install the fan.
My dad passed away unexpectedly 1 month ago. I have been watching all your videos because I miss him really bad.
I've been waiting for this video. I have fan that needs to be replaced. Thank you so much.
I’ve always passively wondered about how people put in ceiling fans because it looked kinda intimidating. I clicked fast. Thanks for the informative vid!!
Are we gonna get more lawn care and baking videos?
Yes, I am just buried right now, I hope to upload more as time permits.
@@DadhowdoI yay
Thank you buddy! Your video sure gave me a lot of confidence, by far the most helpful and descriptive video I found, thanks again!
I've commented already.. but I've got to say this.
So I got frustrated when trying to put the screws in. I kept dropping them. I called my Dad 😅
It's up. It's on. I'm happy 😊 ☺
