Brilliant! You get one fan turning counterclockwise to create cool air over by the closet; another fan turning clockwise by the stairs to form a warm front moving in; and voila! An interior tornado, just right for pulling stubborn dirt and stains out of your rug!
I’m not sure what the third fan is for — that seems a little silly. Plus I’m unsure about the purpose of the dwarf mine elevator.
But oooh! While looking up mine elevators to see if they had some fancy name I could casually slip in (MERLONS!), I found this amazing page. Check out these illustrations! I wonder if the Mine Safety and Health Administration would mind if I took a few? I’m sure they wouldn’t. They seem like a lighthearted bunch.
this can’t be good
not sure what the problem is here
whee I can fly wheee
OK, this has absolutely nothing to do with real estate. Sorry. Maybe I need to do spin-off blog of illustrations from official U.S. Department of Labor publications. Your tax dollars at work, Mr. and Mrs. America!

Copy & paste this:
Hammond, Indiana? Watch out for the Bumpuses’ dogs!
I lost count of the ceiling fans in this listing. They are All. Over. The House.
Maybe the U.S. Dept. of Labor would ramp up efforts to protect miners if they didn’t see them as little fat stick people. Just a thought!
And Mrs. Australia over here gets it for free! Yay!
Ceiling fans in the kitchen, ceiling fans in the hallway, ceiling fans in the bedroom. Does someone like going down at night to make some garlic, cheese and chutney sandwiches?
In picture 2, there are too many miners in the cage which has caused the motor to speed up, and crash into the mine floor.
This made my day – ceiling fans, mining illustrations (and the captions), and delightful comments. Where else could this happen?!
I love this blog! I love it! I love you! …no, not really “LOVE”, because I don’t know you… I could say that i… like you, maybe. Yes, like! But I do love your sense of humor! Yay! Hooray for lovelylisting.com and its genious creator and LOLcat underling
I would be shocked at this, but… I recently had to replace a couple of ugly, beat-up ceiling fans in one of my rentals. As we were getting ready to take the old ones away, the new tenant asked if we would install them both in the garage for him. Huh?!? We did, but I still have doubts. Indiana sure has changed since those crazy ceiling fans came along.
That cage is where they keep the canaries, of course. To check for gas leaks.
All those ceiling fans …sheesh…. “A/C Really-Old-School-Style”.
I also liked a prior caption I saw on it: “Ceiling fans hunt in packs.” LOL
I counted 20 ceiling fans, but some of those are duplicates. Still…
So why is the mine elevator filled with fortune cookies?
We had that same exact light fixture in our foyer. I probably would have liked it more if I had thought of it as a mine elevator.
it must be really warm there all the time to have that many ceiling fans in the hosue. i’m somewhat surprised they didn’t feature in the bathrooms too.
