After suffering through most of the summer with one fan we decided something had to change, our apartment was simply unbearable. While our parents were here for graduation, both dads mentioned "how easy" it would be to replace the ceiling light with a fan/light combo.
So Saturday, after everyone left town we went on a little date night Home Depot to see about a ceiling fan. (Side note, I will never again make fun of people who go to Home Depot on date night. We had a blast designing our dream, yet feasible kitchen.)
We got home around 8:30, but wanted to set up the fan then so we wouldn't be tempted to on Sunday (Sundays are the worst with the heat-- we spend the day inside, we bake more elaborate meals and the apartment quickly becomes an incinerator.)
Well about 3 hours later we got the fan installed. It was a pain because we don't have a ladder, so it tested both of our patience, our arm muscles and the stability of our piano bench turned makeshift ladder. But at last, we have a little more relief from the heat. Though that doesn't mean that we aren't anxiously awaiting the arrival of fall!
Tell Rentmaster to reimburse you for the fan. The people who used to live next to you did the same thing and they got their money back for the fan they bought because they raised the property of the apartment. It's worth a try at least!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea. Though we think we might take the fan with us when we go. Though if we decide its too much trouble, we'll talk to rentmaster about it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the "No air conditioning summers". And of course it doesn't help that you have a precious little heater in your tummy! When do you find out the gender?
ReplyDeleteI know, right! And the precious little heater in my tummy, is killing me :) We should find out the gender at the very end of August, just in time for Swiss Days! Are you going to be up for that?
DeleteNo... :( I am coming home from Aug. 3 - Aug. 12..., then in October, and Christmas (maybe Thanksgiving).
DeleteI can't wait to find out! ... obviously not as much as you... but I'm pretty darn excited!
