… the fan eventually gives out.

After some 40 years or so, our bathroom fan gave out.  Yesterday, our electrician friend came by to take a look.  I had asked him if he could install the fan my husband bought, and how much it would cost.

It turns out the motor for this fan is still manufactured.

So he took it out to take home and see what he could do with it.  It’s likely unfixable, but he would be in the city today and would look for a replacement motor, which would be much cheaper than having him install the new one.  I am expecting to hear from him some time tonight about that.

Meanwhile, this is how it looked.

To be honest, I really expected it to be worse. :-D

I’ve since cleaned it out as much as I could, and washed the other parts and pieces.

I figure, if he does find a new motor for it, this is probably going to be the only opportunity to clean all this out for… oh, who knows how many years!

It’ll be nice to have a fan again.  One that doesn’t scream when we turn it on, even. ;-)

Soon, I hope!
