Wanted: Cool breezes (updated0

Our ceiling fans are in! Woohoo!

Store manager (SM): "Hi, this is SM from the Fan Store."

Me: "Oh hi!"

SM: "I'm calling to let you know that we've got 95% of your order in."

Me: "Okay..."

SM: "On two of the fans, we didn't get the right downrods. They should be in sometime next week."

Me: "Okay..."

SM: "We were wondering if you wanted us to go ahead and install the fans that we do have in... or do you want to wait until we have all the items?"

Me: "Oh...come on over. When will a technician be available to install?"

SM: "Eddie could come by tomorrow if that's okay with you."

Me: "That'll be GREAT! What time?"

SM: "Eddie likes to start early."

Me: "Well, I'm usually up by 6am."

SM: "Really? Would that be too early?"

Me: "If he wants to start that early that's fine. I mean, the sun is up at 5:15."

[she cuts away for a minute]

SM: "He said he could start at 7am. Is that okay?"

Me: "That's fine!"

I'm fine that they don't have all the parts in. No biggie. As long as we get the other seven of them into our house I'll be happy. That's right. SEVEN fans. I'm sure that having the fans will take a bite out of our summer electricity bill.

We'll have cool breezes flowing through the place by the end of the day.

The fans are IN!

The ones outside look inviting. The ones upstairs are functional. I did have the guy check the one fan because it was making a funny noise at the low speed. He fixed it quickly. The one in the master bedroom is HUGE. It's on low right now but I can feel the breeze anywhere in the room.

Turns out we had 8 fans put in. The 9th fan will be installed (hopefully) next week.
