A while ago, I was at our old house preparing it for some new renters. I had the large house fan on, and it started clicking. Obnoxiously. I knew the soon-to-be tenants would probably say something about it, so I needed to fix it; might as well do it right away. So I climbed up and precariously perched myself on the banister and started taking it all apart.
Here I’ve got the blades off. They come off very easily.. just a couple of rubber-lined large-headed screws per blade.
With the blades removed, I took off the face plate and then the glass cover. Still no sign of anything broken. At this point I’m starting to scratch my head a bit.
So I took every last part of this thing apart. And guess what I found.
Stinkbug. A stupid faced stupid Stink Bug. Ugh. These things get everywhere!! Apparently it had died, got all hard and dried-up, and stuck it’s dead-self in just the right spot to go click-click-click-click as the fan spun. Awesome.
I don’t know how they’re getting in, either, man. I feel your pain. We need a support group.
After that ridiculous unplanned and unwanted project, I needed this.
I’ve been on this quest since our trip to Ireland in May to find a place that can serve and correctly pour the perfect pint of Guinness. So far.. meh. I’ll keep you posted.
