Today' activities
My new vent lids and ladder end caps came today. Replaced the cracked endcap easily, then went on the roof to replace the vent lids. Thus began the three hours of up and down the ladder and having to fully disassemble the Heng fans in order to attach the new lids to the crank mechanism. Videos of replacing the lids show it as a 5 minute job. B. S., the lift bar does not move far enough to remove the lid or install the new one unless you detach the mechanism from its mounting to angle it enough to do it. With Heng fans, that means removing the interior trim and dropping the fan to get at the screws that hold the crank mechanism. Not as simple as it sounds. Also does not include having to make a replacement for the little mounting screw that slipped from your fingers in the bathroom and drops down the heat register you forgot to cover and having to fabricate a replacement from your longer on hand stock. Many fine strings of expletives were vocalized. Good thing the neighbors are gone with their 3 little girls.
Anyways, the new lids are on, the mechanisms work, the cracked ladder endcap is replaced (I now have spares) and I'm filling myself with after dinner adult grape juice.
