*Mods please excuse me if I posted this the wrong section*
Hey everyone, My name is Chris R and I was referred here by Dan "Spiffy" Neuman (though I have been lurking for some years).
Currently I don't own anything Vintage... But I am now keeping more of an eye out locally because Phx is a goldmine for awesome fans. My earliest fan memories of fans were pink fans in the early 90s in a TCBY when I lived in Minneapolis. The house we had there had 3 Fasco Charlestons and some various huggers ( 5 in the basement).
I am going to be traveling to my parents house in Ohio, and I will take some pics of the installs I did there before I moved out. (Fanimation Windpoint 5 , Concorde Tempest, Ellington Galileo, Hampton Bay Greytons (in the storage area of basement) ... and a few others I can't remember off the top of my head.
Currently I live in a studio loft above some garages at my apartment complex (It is infested with scorpions lol).
I am moving downtown Phx in a few weeks with my girlfriend to another "loft" style 1 bedroom with a loft. It has 9 foot standard ceilings in the loft (which is open to below and accessed by a spiral staircase), and the living and entry way has 22 foot ceilings. I will obviously be posting pics of all the new installs, including the patio
.
Here is my current setup; 2 54 Inch Casablaca Academy 4spd. There is a height diff of 6 inches where each fan is mounted (though they look uneven in the pic they are both at the same height) The fan on the right is on a 12 inch downrod the left is 18. I purchased some casablanca 4 speed wall controls (Thanks Dan "Spiffy" Neuman) and hopefully I will be able to slow them down to a better static low if I decide to mount them at my new place. *excuse the mess, I am getting ready to move in a couple weeks*
In my kitchen I have a 42 inch red Yosemite Home Decor. In my last apt, I had it over my desk and desk area (I have a candy red computer desk). Not sure where it will go when I move... possibly into storage or maybe the garage under my unit. It has a slight wobble but I normally leave it on low 24/7 due to the high ceilings and open stairway off of the kitchen.
Same fan but off and from a diff angle. ...
I'm starting to get lazy... so I will post the rest of my fans and diff installs later on... skipping to the fun stuff now.
Last night I found an INSANE DEAL.... Today I acted... I purchased 11 Fanimation Islanders (a year old) for 330 dollars with various downrod lengths (2 ft to 4ft) from a high end resturant in Scottsdale Arizona that recently closed. There were 18 total, but the contractor promised the property owner 2 for his house, and he had only initially thought he had 13.. so there are 3 more that I didn't grab still sitting on the floor at the restaurant. 3 are going up in the new place (one will be hung 9 feet from the floor in the living room on a 22ft ceiling) , 3 are going to my girlfriends parents and I am still coming up with ideas for the rest... I will post more pics of the restaurant and stuff later this evening. Yes I know they need to be dusted... lol . The contractor had already started removing the blades before I got there, or else I would have removed them from the motor at the blade arms.
I got a battle scar... but it was worth it lol. Before I left I went back in to thank the contractor, and there was some conduit sticking out of the ground and I stepped right into it.
