The $hit Hit the Fan!

Last month I had come across some used box fans that came from a chicken farm. Because it was such a great deal on the fans we decided to pick up 8 of them. Well, if you've never experienced that chicken $hit aroma, let me just say it's got to be the worst smell on the planet. After bleaching the fans and pressure washing them, and re-bleaching and sun bleaching, I finally got rid of the essence and they had come clean. Although, I had to throw out a pair of shorts and a shirt because they were not worth saving. I don't recommend this job to anyone and it would be worthy of a "Dirty Jobs" segment with Mike Rowe on the Discovery Channel!

I will say the area of the lawn that I pressure washed them now has the finest patch of grass on our whole property. Chicken $hit makes great fertilizer!

When I finished the dirty job, the fans looked so good I figured I'd throw some paint on them while I was at it to spruce them up even more. Then I took one down to the barn and plugged it in and.............. amazingly, or should I say thankfully it worked!

So here's a before and after shot of the fan episode.
