In a perfect bit of bad timing, the gable fan in the BlueTower has failed, just in time for a heat wave that's hit our area, as it has much of the country, bringing the first really hot weather of the season. The gable fan would probably not suffice to keep the attic cool in the face of these temperatures, but I can usually make good use of it to keep from running the air conditioner constantly. The motor in the fan is not actually broken, I can hear it strain when the fan is turned on, but dirt, rust, leaves, dead critters or some combination of the above are preventing the blades from moving. I imagine I'll be able to clear that up if I can manage to get to the fan, I'm just not looking forward to taking the louvers off to access it, as I am picturing being showered by decades of debris when I do *shudder*.
