New fans

This past weekend my wife need to run to Menards to pickup some canning supplies. I decided to go along and that usually means me finding things here and there to buy.

Well, I did end up finding a couple things. Amongst them was a ceiling fan for my kitchen, the only room in the house with a 10ft ceiling and no fan. Pretty much every other room has ceiling fans.

Last year I did a stratification test and the temperature at the top of the room versus the counter level was 4-5 degrees! So, thats when I decided that I needed a fan in there.

I also picked up one of these little fans for the upstairs. Since we don't have AC, we rely on cooling the house down at night to keep it cool during the day. This means we have to be able to move air through the house. When the temperature differential is high enough, regular convection works just great. However, if the temperature doesn't drop enough at night we could be stuck with a warm/hot house the next day. So, I picked up one of these to see how they work. So far, I haven't noticed a big temperature difference from using it.
