He was bored because I was out and about doing some errands solo so he brought it inside and decided to fiddle around with it to see if it worked. So he took it apart, cleaned it up and plugged it in... and here's the funny thing... It worked. There were no issues with the motor or anything. The only thing that's wrong with it is the "oscillation" (so it doesn't move from side to side) but it has three settings on it and its fully functional...
So now we have a like new desk fan which should help our house stay a bit cooler now :)
If you remember from last week, we broke down and bought a little desk fan to help cool off the house a bit... Looks like we should have waited a bit longer to get one. Its funny how that happens...
My fiance broke the desk chair for the computer a while back so he was making due with a kitchen chair or the bench for a while... he kept talking about how we needed to get a new one and we kept putting it off because we didn't want to buy something cheap and then have to replace it to get something better latter... by waiting we ended up getting one for free from our church...
Same thing with the monitor mounts he wanted for his computer... we decided not to buy them when he didn't get them for his birthday... and just this week I won a free $25 amazon gift card so we were able to order them (we normally don't shop off amazon, but I knew he wanted the mounts from there so I entered because we knew what we would want to buy off the site before hand).
Maybe there is something the whole waiting bit. By delaying our purchases a little while, we were able to take advantage of some great deals. :)
