I got a new ceiling fan from the Habitat for Humanity ReStore ($40! Can't beat that.) I've been told that I'm missing a piece to mount it on the ceiling. I have no objection to acquiring said piece, but I'm stumped. Help?
It's a Harbor Breeze, model H42-58/3LEVM, pic below if I did it right.
Edit: the zip tie is how it was hung up at the store, it makes a handy handle right now so I haven't removed it.
I think you got lucky, and this one looks complete. I have worked extensively with Habitat, mostly while building new homes, but some work in the Restores. I would caution anybody to be real careful when it comes to some purchases, and I cringe when I hear that somebody bought a fan, or lighting fixture there. The reason is that most of these fixtures can be amazingly cheap, new, in the box, with ALL the parts sealed in a bag. For example, Amazon has a highly rated, nice looking , name brand ceiling fans with light kits for about what you paid, with Prime shipping. OTOH, my local ReStore offers a big bin of fan motors, and hanging hardware, another of light kits, and (this makes my toes curl) dozens of blades hanging on pegboard hooks. In that situation, the whole setup could be free, and not worth the price. The chance of leaving the store with all the correct, compatible big parts, and all the hardware is pretty slim. The odds of assembling the whole mess correctly, and ending up with a quiet, well balanced fan, is even less. I have seen similar situations with lighting, and even huge piles of commercial florescent fixtures that should of been processed as hazardous waste, NOT offered for sale to anyone, due to the antique, leaking ballasts and criminally high energy usage, compared to modern units. ReStores are critical to the mission, and some bring in shocking amounts of cash every year, but there are some things I would avoid, including older appliances, especially refridgerators and used electrical equipment. OTOH, there are some stunning buys there. We spent a week working in one recently, and I loaded a brand new, nine piece dining room set into a customer's truck. It was an end of year donation from a local furniture store. The sticker for the group was $4200, and they paid $900. My wife was sorting clothing and sent several pieces, like LL Bean winter jackets, out to the racks, to be sold for $5. They were new, with tags on.
