/diy/ - Do It Yourself

[Anonymous No.2623010]

This year I decided to put a fan blowing in next to my AC in the window because of those sweet summer nights where it's not too hot and you just want to smell the air.

Pink is just regular insulation around the fan, but I need some creative ideas to cover the fan when not in use.

It protrudes a few inches out. Was thinking of getting some kind of heavy fabric and Velcro.

Any ideas?

Metal plate with interior / exterior lock, otherwise your going to get a shit load of bugs in there or worse, home invaders / burglars.

This is a dumb idea. You want to smell the air? Go outside.

Congrats on being more retarded than the OP.

You're going to need window screen material over the fan intake unless you want every mosquito for miles in your room. When you aren't using it just cut a garbage bag and use some rubber bands or small bungee cords to hold it on. Make sure you cover the whole thing so rain can't get in.

Here's the cheapest idea I can offer at the rate you're paying. Use a shower cap on the end of the fan.

Fresh air > recirculated air.

Yeah, but they don't allow for outside air and inside air to pass.

Id make wooden shutters on a hinge to close it off.
