Utah Bob #35998 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Started at noon. Finished at 5. Cleaned up by 6. I need a drink. And and an ice pack for my back. The old fan was on the same circuit as the swamp cooler so I couldn’t get any cool air till I was done! 57 trips up and down the ladder, 5 trips to the barn for more tools, one disassembly about halfway through (stupid directions), one banana for lunch, two Tylenol, 3 cups of coffee and lots of cussing. But now I cot a fancy remote controlled fan, perfect for a guy like me. I hated getting up to pull the chain on the old one. Yes, I’m that lazy. And I need another drink.

PowderRiverCowboy Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 What no Huey ceiling fan or old west type ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 IMO, the dam' ladder work is the big deal. I have the bedroom ceiling fan ahead. Bad news, the bed is too heavy to move, good news, if I fall off the ladder, I'll land on the bed. Congrats on getting 'er done. Procrastination is at least one of my names.

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 In my case I would also add two trips to Home Depot, one to Lowes and possibly two to Ace Hardware! And given my propensity to hurt myself one trip to the drug store for first aid stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Yep. That's why people call me for stuff like that. The amount of time taken to do a job is directly proportionate to hands on experience. For me, that would have been about a 1/2 hour job, including assembly of the fan, maybe a little longer as it was at the top of the vault. If I had to connect plumbing to it, you'd have had to cook me breakfast the next day! Congrats on a good job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
