Turbo-exhaust for burrito night.

Did the blurb say something about ‘whole house vacuum’?

Seems to me an alien already lives there.

“Whole House Fan” has been redefined.

I wonder if they’ll be big fans of this house?

This must be in England, the cars are on the ‘wrong’ side of the street.

I remember when we lived in fort Monmouth NJ, and there was no air conditioning. We had a fan that was huge on the second floor. I would guess it was 4 feet or more across. It was embedded in the wall much like this cartoon’s drawing. When it started it would open up flaps that kept out the rain and it produced a lot of air movement through the house.

It’s not every house that comes with its very own built-in wind tunnel.

A spinning fan can sometimes be an opaque window. I am not sure a bedroom would be a good place for it from the neighbors point of view.

Bet that house can fly!

If you smoke then it will clean out your ashtray too. ;-}

Hope there’s a screen there, or they will have big-time bug problems.

I have an old house with one of those – a 4 ft wide attic fan. On a dry day – open windows in every room and get that thing going, it really freshens up the whole house. Just make sure the window screens are in place.

And it’s a great burglar deterrent. If they happen to walk up to this side of the house, they immediately get sucked in through the blades…and, you know…

Doesn’t NEED central air; it has PERIMETER air!

A hole house fan!

Whole house fan.
