My fan is dead

[Kirk (KC) Constable]

I didn't get much accomplished today, because the fan in the shop had a screaming fit and I had to put it out of its misery. I've know it was dying some time now...and have even 'shopped'...just never bought the new one. So I guess I'll stop by the HD on the way home in the morning and pick one up. :mad: Couple hundred bucks I really didn't wanna spend right now. :(

The fan is dead . . . Long live the new fan!

Could be worse, Kirk. I spent $300 yesterday on plumbing problems. The cause: a washcloth that got dropped into a toilet and flushed. That was one expensive rag!

What kind of fan are we talking here for $200? That must be one heck of a fan. You could buy some small/medium a/c units at that price. Sorry about the need to spend money when it isn't a new tool. :(

KC, that stinks having to spend money on stuff like that. I take it you had a big heavy duty wind machine type fan.

Thank goodness,

When I first read the title, I thought a fan of yours was dead, not a fan of yours.

The dead one was an $80 or so Hampton Bay that moved quite a bit of air. What I really want is one of the BIG ones, but I'm not ready to spend that much money. For a couple hundred, I can quite a bit more than what I had. The shop fan IS a tool around here..and it's a bit cheaper to run than A/C. I've got heat in the shop for the winter because I need glue to cure...but A/C still seems like a selfish 'creature comfort'. Perhaps if I ever build a new shop...
