I did at least complete the wiring from the service panel to the unit. Originally I was going to swipe an existing run that goes to an unused heater in the bathroom:
...but it was clamped into the heater unit before the room was finished off, and thus would be a bit of a pain to undo:
Instead, I reasoned that, since I wouldn't be using that heater unit, I could branch the line for the overhead unit from the same run and not have to worry about overloading the circuit:
exhibit B: the box open, showing the line coming from
the service panel and the line going to the old heater.

exhibit don't-be-an-idiot: even if you know you flipped the breaker,
check that the line isn't hot before sticking your hand in there.

...and coming up to meet the wires running from the overhead unit.
I took too many pictures of semi pointless things here, so you'll have to take my word that I attached these two wires to each other and am now just breathlessly awaiting the delivery of the switch assembly. Maybe you'll get some more pictures of that. If you're good.
