Your little dog in front of the fan makes me want a fan, too, even though I have my A/C. I think I have a floor fan in the attic that came out of our restaurant when we closed the restaurant in 1994. It would need a good cleaning and I frankly don’t know how to clean it....LOL! It would be great if my AC went out for a little while, which has happened before.
Fans are good to have when the AC isn’t effective or it goes out. Maybe next time your kids come visit, they can help you get it down and clean it up so you’ll have it handy. :)
