    I ended up taking the ceiling fan out of that room, LOL! Heck I also have a window unit in this room and have to be careful when tying marabou that the air is not aimed near the marabou especially the stack I am making to tie in, LOL!

    I'll have to agree with the fan, I do not have a ceiling fan but have a huge box fan in the basement. This box fan has a 1hp motor and sounds like an airplane. But if you put it in the back corner of the basement and open windows and big door and run for an hour, all cobwebbs and dust bunnies are cleaned from duct work and rafters and most get blown out the door. BTW loose tying materials are lighter than dust bunnies and make for an interesting looking yard

    Dang guy, that sounds like a really strong fan and would think that one is way too much to have on, LOL! I bet that fan on a hot day sure helps though, just not when tying, LOL!

    Not buying enough materials when you find it and then not being able to find the exact material again.
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along

    You say that like it's a bad thing.

    My biggest is not sitting down often enough and having to knock the rust off.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
