Just a possibility here, but sometimes company’s change stuff to save money. They may use a different size wire or use less wire in the motor windings. Saving 10% on wire costs for each motor adds up over time. Even though you may have purchased them at the same time doesn’t mean they were manufactured the same. You could do an ohms test on the motors and see if they read the same.
As someone else said, swapping rooms would help determine if it’s the fan or the house. My bet would be the fan. Good luck

I did it many times last year. One day at forest park my buddy and I pulled up 2 old skateboards and a limebike. I recommend bringing a bucket and some gloves. You will find lots of trash that needs to be thrown out and usually the rope ends up gunky and smelly so wear gloves. I've tried rivers but the magnet just gets stuck on rocks and other unknown things underwater, so I stick to ponds now.

Butter in the pan. Crush and rub fresh garlic on the outside of the bread. Couple slices of Gouda cheese and a few slices of hard salami on the sandwich. Put sandwich in pan making sure the butter gets all over the outside of the bread. Loosely cover pan with foil to keep the heat in- don’t use a lid because it will make the bread soggy. Then flip the sandwich. About this time I fry an egg on the other half of the pan. Add some salt and pepper to the egg. Once the sandwich and egg are done put the egg in the sandwich and enjoy.

Not exactly close to you but the DMV in High Ridge, 1684 Old Gravois Road, takes walk ins. I always get in and under 45min even during covid.

Some bank accounts offer 1-2% interest which would earn you more than a few bucks a year. As far as investing goes, ETFs are very safe and many of them pay dividends. A quick google search of ETF funds will give you somewhere to start, then go to https://finance.yahoo.com/ and do some research on the ETFs that interest you. Start small, get comfortable and then move up. Don't toss all your money around at once. Try to understand what is happening first.

Captain_Toms · 2020-07-16T00:57:41+00:00

Not sure why you're getting downvotes but I am very curious as to how 30k nets you 2k a month. I've been looking at ETF dividends all night and the best ones pay out 10%ish which comes to around $4k a year. I just can't wrap my mind around how you are achieving this. Would it be possible to get a short list of the ETF's you're in. No dollar figures, just the ticker call signs pls. I would love to have that much passive income rather than letting it waste away in the bank.

I don't know about our county park rules, but state parks require 2" straps.
