    The Ceiling Fan...OT

    We have a log home with a ceiling fan. Our braniac builder thought putting a ceiling fan 30 feet in the air was a brilliant idea. We've lived here 7 years, and I have yet to figure out how to clean it. I've tried all sorts of things short of renting scaffolding.

    Then, I had an epiphany just now. Make it a project for my 12 year old son to figure out. I offered him $10 to solve the problem.

    He has duct taped together a collection of broom and dusters, and as I'm sitting her, half of 7 year's dust is gone!

    I really need to do this sort of thing more often...:: Why do I think I have to figure it all out?

      AWESOME IDEA!! Just as we always say, attach money to dcp and it changes all sorts of things

      Attach money to a tween or teenager... It's amazing what they come up with isn't it?? Lol

          We call him McGyver anyway. You're probably too young to understand the reference, though.

              I LOVED McGyver!!!

              I feel your pain as we have a two story foyer in our home. When we bought the house (first owners) we thought the foyer added some "WOW" factor. Almost 10 years later I think yeah, "WOW, look at the dust!" or "WOW, those windows are dirty!" or "WOW, my master bedroom could have been so much larger!" There's our "wow" factor!!!!::::

                  I am 30ish and understand it!

                  My dh didn't understand my NEED to rid our house of ceiling fans until he tried to clean one. We don't have anymore.

                  WAY TO GO KIDDO!!! happyface
