And I shouldn't be surprised by what I found, but I am. I kinda wonder what the kitchen looked like originally, since the other weirdly placed lamp had a similar sized hole in the ceiling. In this case, we had a ceiling fan attached to a home made support, with the electrical connection made outside of a box. Looks like they pulled out either a can light or a bathroom fan, I'm leaning towards the former, because that armored cable would've led to the actual light, and it explains the ground with a crimped ring on it and the metal ring around the hole.

So, off to Menards I go for a proper fan mount, and then I have to figure a way to crawl out to where the wiring is, removed the remains of the old electrical, and then fit in new proper parts.
