My house has been pretty warm in the evening lately. The sun heats it up during the day, but the cool of the evening has a hard time getting in.
I brought my fans out of storage in the basement yesterday. There were two down there. One was a tower-type fan, and the other was a regular round fan on a tall base. Both of them don’t work properly.
The tower fan has a thermostat on it or something. It blows for three seconds, then is off for four seconds, then on for two seconds, off for two seconds, and so on, and so on. I think I could stand it if it were predictable, but the “on” and “off” times seem to be completely random.
The round fan works fine, but is very hard to turn on. It has a metal plate in the grill that you’re supposed to be able to touch and have the fan turn on. But it doesn’t work like that. Instead, I have to squeeze the fan at the top and the bottom of the grill while touching the metal plate with a spare finger. After the fourth or fifth try, the fan comes on full blast. If I want “medium” or “low” speed, I have to squeeze and touch again. Botheration!
I think I’ll be getting a new fan after my next paycheck.
I love, love, love fans!!! Be sure to take lots of pictures of your selection of fans, please.
Don’t you think you could count your squeezy fan as some sort of workout program?
That’s what you get for buying fancy-schmancy fans. If you bought the ones that just have a dial on the backside, you’d be fine. Stupid fancy-schmancy, gadgety contraptions.
Don’t forget you are saving money for a baby! Maybe you could just live in your basement when it’s hot.
I can’t spend any time in my basement! It’s full of those centepede-looking bugs with freaky long legs.
Scaredy cat!
Michele, don’t do that! My eyes opened wide, and I had this sudden image of Brad, Single Dad. Not that it was a bad image, it was just surprising!
And then, of course, I realized the baby is his new precious kitty!
Tricksy MasterTouch!
(but really, is there a need for medium or low settings?)
