Junkyard Quote Two, Week One

"When I was maybe ten years old, my dad welded together something like a fireplace insert and installed it in the middle of our living room floor. The temperature hovered around the 80s in the common room after that, but the bedrooms were icy. Until, that is, a neighbor tore down chicken houses and gave my dad a few of those monster fans from the ends. He placed those fans in our bedrooms and used them to pull in heat from the insert. Our rooms were warm then. But I think I have some hearing loss from the noise." ~~Denise (sister-in-law) (I did paraphrase.)

  1. Fantastic. Use this. Not that your sister-in-law might have hearing loss but the odd fact that her father did that interesting renovation.
