Chainsaw and a skylight. A big one too, like one of these

And yeah, yeah, I've heard they are a pain to maintain and break easily. I don't care, I'll fix it every week if that means I get a balcony and fresh air every day.

SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 35 pts · 2y (12 replies)

You want a sawzall, not a chainsaw. The former is a precision cutting tool, the latter is for arboreal maintenance.

Kolanaki@yiffit.net · 28 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I want a wrecking ball since that would be more fun and destructive, but ok.

Also a chainsaw cuts chains, while a sawzall isn’t called a sawzmost.

Pencilnoob@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Ah yes, that would make sense.

I'm over here thinking like a firefighter trying to ventilate a roof, not like a contractor trying to install a window.

I guess I'd put up some tarps to prevent the inevitable blood splatter from staining the walls and floor?

SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y

The blood splatter is the decoration.

x4740N@lemmy.world · 44 pts · 2y (2 replies)

That's not a fan, it's a head slicer

supercriticalcheese@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y

It's a hedge trimmer

lordmauve@programming.dev · 3 pts · 2y

Yeah, decorate it just with a tremendous amount of dark red paint, spattered away from the fan, heaviest in the fan corner

Twinkletoes@lemm.ee · 40 pts · 2y

Cannabis plants and grow lights

Fake?

with a bucket, a mop, a broom and dust pan, a shelf with some bottles of Windex and Soft Scrub and other S.C. Johnson(R) products, a stack of furnace filters against one wall and the front one always falls over, and probably a vacuum.

Add some slanted flooring and decorate the whole room at the same angle as the fan.

I'm not sure who needs to know this, but they make angled mounting kits for ceiling fans.

Death_Equity@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 2y

This isn't that type of situation. This room is not meant to be right. It is where only wrong exists. There is a litany of people who allowed this room to exist and they all knew what should have been, but they all allowed this space to come to pass.

This room is meant to not be, but has allowed to be because it is forsaken by the collective creation of humanity.

cordlesslamp@lemmy.today · 20 pts · 2y (4 replies)

That poor fan is just waiting to tear itself apart.

Why don't you turn on the fan then lock the door, and call it "the Schrodinger's room". Quantum mechanics says that after a while, the fan is both functioning and broken, spinning in an endless dance of probability.

Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 2y (2 replies)

You will likely hear the fan tear itself apart from outside of the room, such an event is absolutely loud enough to be heard from outside the door, plus the fact that the little bits of fan that are left afterwards will probably continue spinning and likely bumping into the ceiling (if it's hanging from the wires).

ArcticAmphibian@lemmus.org · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

If a fan falls in a closed room but nobody is around to hear it, did it make a sound?

Lifebandit666@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 2y

What was that noise from upstairs? Probably a murderer!

Is the noise it would make

Rubanski@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y

Yeah, I am very sure the bearings on a fan are not designed to withstand side loads

Enclose it and make a secret door to enter.

Tetsuo@jlai.lu · 16 pts · 2y

Add another fan a few feet to the left of the first one to make the room more visually balanced.

sxan@midwest.social · 7 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I was thinking... just more fans everywhere. On every wall.

Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Wtf is with the low wall fan? It seems low enough that you could just walk into it. I am not the guy that people would call safety conscious, but I do draw the line at spinning blades hitting my head.

When we moved into our house a few years ago the den had a ceiling fan that hung at about eye level.

Aside from aircraft painted on wall, I think put a mattress area on the floor (or comfy seating) and paint a galaxy in glow in the dark paint.

The fan won't last very long, the bearings aren't designed to operate like that. (Even if you don't hit it with your head...)

Remove the fan, replace it with a sunlight mimicking fixture.

No, bare socket and bulb hanging from the wire that flickers.

This is the room you keep someone in or cry in, this is not space for a modicum of faux solar joy.

Bobmighty@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

That's a storage closet, very obviously so. That type of fan being located at that spot makes me also feel like this is a joke.

Yes, but room? It looks like less then half of attic.

Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Ceiling fan is going and a regular fixture put in instead. This seems like a closet or storage room anyway (there are no windows), no real need for a fan like that in a space like this.

Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Giant van. Slanted wall is the windshield, walls are the doors and back wall is seats. All painted on.

Or a space ship, same vibe.

Gotta be a themed room.

Could also make it the outside of the tardis from doctor who, so it's bigger on the outside but technically the outside is the inside. You are outside the tardis when you are inside the room.

Or do it like harry potters under the stairs cupboard.

I’m not sure exactly, but it’d prob involve some galvanized square steel for framing, borrowed screws from my aunt, and eco friendly wood veneer.

archonet@lemy.lol · 3 pts · 2y

If you have pets, I'd say make it a room with a bean bag chair and a bunch of pet beds, (short) cat trees if you have cats, and a small tv for you to watch stuff on. Make it a little cozy hangout spot for you and your dogs/cats.

If not, uh... Closet?

Do you have any ideas? Without any context about your needs or the rest of your house, you will get a bunch of random suggestions that may not apply to your situation. Multiple people have mentioned a room for pets, but we don't know if OP has any pets. We also don't know if OP would benefit more from a small office or an arts and crafts room.
