So a few years back I figured the ultimate solution to all of my problems:
Put a fan in my window which sucks the heat (and smoke) out of my room. My room is on the top floor and with all the computers and stuff it gets hot even in the winter. My parents only turn on the AC when it gets hot downstairs, and it is usually 20 degrees cooler downstairs. The fan also works great to maintain a one-way airflow going in my door and out my window, so I can smoke whenever without worrying about smoking up my house (even though my parents donâ??t really care, mostly incase an uncle or someone comes over). I just put it going out the window then roll up my curtains and use twist ties to form the curtain into a kind of skirt to go around the fan and force the air out the window.
But since figuring out this miracle solution 2 years ago or so, Iâ??m already on my 3rd fan. I canâ??t seem to figure out why they keep breaking. I have a Panasonic desk fan that used to be my moms and I remember having it since I was a baby, and the thing still works great. Yet every time I get a new one for my window Iâ??m lucky is it lasts one whole year. But I mean my brothers got desk fans that are comparable to the Panasonic and they broke or started making bad noises within a few years also. I guess they donâ??t make them as good as they used to, which seems kind of cliché but apparently true. My heart sinks every time my fan dies because my room turns into a sauna within 5 minutes AND I canâ??t even smoke.
