Question
If one has already affixed the mezuzah without a blessing in a place where a blessing was required, can he recite the blessing later when it is already affixed?
Answer
He should not recite the blessing (Rabbi Akiva Eiger was uncertain about this and ruled not to recite it), but when he removes it for inspection or similar purposes, he should recite the blessing since he is performing an action.
