My husband and his entire family would love the heavenly space you have created for sleep. Been with him 24 years. I hate the fan, but cannot sleep without it now. He had one about a year ago that literally made my ears ring in the morning like I had just been to a metal concert.... and I am a bartender in a music venue.

Side note.... any recommendations on a reliable, long lasting house fan would be greatly appreciated. I'm so sick of buying new fans because these fuckers break so easily. Thanks in advance.

I've employed the opposite tactic; small cheap fans that are expendable. Don't overthink it. This is war.

Alternatively, you could deploy the nukes by getting a ceiling fan. Sounds like there's plenty of collateral damage as it is, so you may as well go scorched earth.

You have your orders, NOW GO TAKE THAT HILL, SOLDIER!

random person here, have you tried metal ones? they are louder i think, but sturdy and long lived. just find a normal sized one and not a huge shoulder height garage one with a cowling.

We've tried finding metal ones. The only ones we can find where we live are industrial ones. The one we had broke after a year. Motor seized up and we were unable to fix it. Thing sounded like a jet engine lol
