A friend disassembled his green house. This 50" fan was left over with out a belt or wiring. I threw a plug on it, a new belt, some Castor's and walla... I was really disappointed in the amount of air it was moving then discovered it was turning backwards. Reversed a couple of wires with some help from Moorehouse last night. Now it needs wheel chocks and I need to steady the cars on the lift.  clap clap clap Just in time for the heat, how sweet!!!!   The only scary thing is that there are no screens on it yet. I'm pretty sure the dog wont try to go through it. TDay

I was gonna say, that looked like the rear fans off of an LCAC.  We had a few moor up beside us the other day, and those babys can moce some air.  It was pretty impressive.  We could have used that fan today out in Santee.

I thought about that, then realized that everything in my shop is bare metal. It all would rusted in a matter of minutes. Wish I could though.  TDay
