Summer is rapidly approaching and I've decided to put a gable attic fan in the house to clear the hot air out. I looked up the various models on the net and saw a good deal at Home Depot. The web site said the local store had them in stock.

I drove over there and found the roofing section. The one gable fan they had was out of it's box and had obviously been returned with parts missing. WTF? I looked around for another sealed box, but it was not to be found.

Empty handed, I drove home. It took me 4 minutes to buy the fan online. Free shipping don'tcha know! Sometimes I don't know why I leave home...
