I agree I think that they did not trim them to fit so they curve some as a tight fit--you can also ad a light kit to your fan too --you take the cover off,and they usually plug in--turn the breaker off first lol

Thanks 1) We screw them so if we need in an area in the future we can--we have rental homes and we do this anytime we replace ceilings or walls--we do not finish the seams so we can unscrew the trim and the drywall and replace or get into the wall to fix--- in the mh we did not do drywall on the cei...

Thank you all --when we first bought it --it did not look really bad, we thought repair the roof and some of the floor--but then we looked at the electric and knew we would need to remove the paneling to do this, then once we started opening the floor--well all of it had to go--the sad part we run i...
