Was wondering if you might have any ideas on this one.
I added 1x4 strapping to my ceiling after having put up the guts of the bathroom fan, which I had attached to the joists. I've included a couple pictures. Since the joists were not level prior to installing drywall, I did the strapping.
The strapping (and shims) make the bottom of the guts of the ceiling fan approximately 1" above the bottom of the strapping.
I'd prefer not to attach the ceiling fan to the 1x4 as they are not as sturdy as the joists. The ceiling fan is a Panasonic fv-0811-rqc1.
Any suggestions on how to handle this?
Thank you!
