Hi all - I am looking to install a 3-sided Faux beam along the ridge of my living room ceiling. I currently have a ceiling fan mounted through a (dropped-down) flat section of the ceiling and I am struggling a bit as to how to move the fan's electrical box so that I still have access to it in the future without having to remove the faux beam. To do this, I believe the electrical box would need to be dropped down to be inside the open (hollow) area of the faux beam along with some 2x blocking material, but I'm not sure if I can use some kind of box extender to still utilize the existing fan brace secured to the ceiling trusses.
Or perhaps I leave the fan mounted as-is and put some kind of a (removable) faux plug in the beam that could be removed to access the electrical box. I just don't know how well that would look though and it would still be recessed quite a way from the outside of the beam.
Attached are picture of the current arrangement I have, as well as a sample picture of a Faux beam. Looking for any ideas and feedback you have, thanks!
