On point, dude! Smaller rooms give these fixtures better usage. They can feel a little bit underwhelming in larger rooms. If I were you, I’ll focus on a better lightning and let fans be fans.
Not a fan of fans with built-in light (no pun intended lol). They feel outdated to me and doesn’t give much light that can light the whole room, unlike the modern ones. For me, I’ll get standalone fans and invest on wall-mounted lights compared to the fans with built-in lights.
Very straightforward, dude! I like it! For painted, use affordable materials since appearance isn’t much critical. Plywood sheets, MDF, or hardboard can cover your wall. Use poplar boards for the frame.
I’ve been browsing for some tools online and I was directed to redtoolstore.com because their prices are almost too good to be true. Can someone verify or vouch for them for me? Thanks in advance!
I somewhere came across an article about your exact situation, turns out they had to hire a professional to remove some of the cracked tiles and replace them with new ones. Hiring a pro might be your best option.
