    Yes. It looks just like yours with a second slider opposite the first one and standard snap switch in the middle.

    Replaced garage door rollers today. Found out the hard way that, unless you know what you're doing, you're not supposed to remove the bottom roller bracket. That's the one that has the cable attached to the door spring.

    Took awhile, but with my neighbor's help we got it. Close call. Door works great now.

    First post on this thread, just finished a basement family room area. Started from nothing and did all the work myself except for the mud and tape. What do you all think?

    I could make a list for y'all of stupid shit we've found in this house but I don't have that kind of time. It's entirely possible that it is a non functioning switch. I'll dig into it tomorrow.

    Haven't finished my coffee yet, so I haven't delved into the wall... but this is making some sense from what I've previously seen in this house.

    I've replaced all the light fixtures in the house (over kitchen sink, two bathroom vanity lights, over the soaking tub, and the walk in closet.). All have been two-wire, black and white.

    Here's the kicker... the only other ceiling fan is in the kitchen. And it CAN be controlled by either wall switches or pull chains (when the switches are on of course). One switch for fan, one for light...

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Strikes me as odd that they would show two separate feed wires joined together. They should have only put one for this representation.
