I've seen worse.

Those fans barely function when the back is covered. But very stylish!

Looks like a Blue light special embraced by a DIY er

I actually like it and I do think outside box which I also like to do

DIY stupidity.

What is unseen is on the other side of the floor decking is a sleeping cat.

This is a mild vibrator, not a fan. As a fan it would be a flop as Cody Carmen noted.

People come up with interesting things, but it would have worked better if they screwed it into the joists instead of the floor boards, better air flow.

Looks like the one we saw in the time share we rented somewhere in Maine last summer.  Eighty degrees and no a/c.

the force might be enough to pull all of the powder post beetles from the old wood that it's attached to!!!

I would be very surprised if this one will ever becomes a trend. 

Leanne Carpenter - color contrast is good. And wow, the fan works!

That's a new ceiling fan model. It was recently put out by Ronco. 

I saw a box fan like that haging on chains on a front porch yesterday. I thought it was quite ingenious or was it redneck?

If it acts like a duck...you have to applaud the problem solving they did.

Way to be a trend setter!  I don't know why it blowing into the roof and not down.  Hmm.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha That is funny!

Oy vey.  They need to take (or retake) physics.

i have extras if u need them :)

Leanne Carpenter Is this the new ceiling fan?

Foxy! I mean.. boxy!

Improvise, adapt and overcome.

You mean to tell me you're not familiar with the newest look in deconstruction. LOL!!

At least it will not kill any birds!

Adds character to the ceiling.

Definately installed by a Walmartian ....

Has Richard Weeks been rubbing off on you?

Almost thinking outside the box.  

Is this a retro look?   I also like Annette Lawrence , Palm Harbor, FL 727-420-4041 's answer and made me laugh!

Weird,  Not a fan of fans

A possibility for low ceilings!

That could be the new open AC located in Arizona.

Creative.

no

Oh yes, my husband has that setup in his shop

Will be keeping my eyes open for this trend to explode!

An EL cheapo ceiling fan?

Leanne,

Very clever, and I hope Richard Weeks  sees this.  This is very funny, thanks for the laugh.  A

NO WAIT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN - there is a little vent hole behind the fan. Look closely- see the silver flashing around the circle- looks like ducting vent?  I think this is fron the set of a horror movie. The movie is working title, "The HOT BOX" Thank you Leanne Carpenter  

Probably won't be a big seller Leanne Carpenter, since the fan is attached to a wood ceiling?  Hmmm . . .  air flow or not so much . . .

We used to do that in our tents when exhibiting.
