And then there was that one time, when we spontaneously decided to make over our fan. When we painstakingly spent two hours, sanding, spraying, cleaning, and painting it, only to see the rope that we had ever so carefully, tied to the motor, to hang it from our garage ceiling, so as to enable easy access to all sides for spraying with the rustoleum, break and send our motor crashing into our concrete, garage floor. I.e. that was two hours spent in vain.
