    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…)

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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).

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

    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.

    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?
