A “property rifle” doesn’t live on a bench. It rides in the truck, gets carried around fences, and ends up going through cedar, briars, and tall grass. The worst feeling is having a rifle snag on everything while you’re trying to get into position quickly. Most of the time, it’s not the caliber or the…
The most useful attic photo you will ever take is not a wide shot of the rafters, it is a close, well lit image of your fan’s wiring, controls, and label before you climb back down the ladder. That single picture becomes your roadmap for safe shutoffs, future repairs, and even warranty questions, long after…
Your attic fan may hum along every summer without complaint, but quiet operation is not the same thing as safety.

The goal is simple: build a small, permanent kit around your…
