it would be nice if i could find a replica of that space, but the way it was when i found it - with electrical heating instead of gas heating, without smokers next door or outside, without electrical interference issues from messing with the electrical, without cats shitting everywhere and without an overbearing air conditioner coming in from upstairs.

i could have probably even dealt with the smoke in the hallway.

the fact is that the fans worked just fine, cost nothing and bothered nobody.
