When I bought my house 26 years ago the previous owners had cut the female end off of a standard extension cord, spliced it to the ceiling fan, and then used thumb tacks to run the cord along a beam and down the wall to an outlet. (Yes, the thumb tacks went right through the cord, between the two wires....)
