5 years of home renovations has taught me this - if it won't cooperate, take a hammer to it and replace it. You'll feel better, and the other fans will fear you and behave better.
@Agatha LOL! If I didn't rent, I would absolutely act on this advice!
Oh hell even better. That's SEP (someone else's problem). Congrats!
@Agatha Indeed! I just wish I weren't too embarrassed to ask my landlord.
Are you embarrassed about having to ask at all, or did you do something to it?
I've found Google and YouTube really are amazingly helpful with the diy.
But if you want to post a pic, I can see if I'm familiar with that kind. I've a bit of experience with them, unfortunately. π
@Agatha Thanks so much! If I phone weren't dead, I'd do just that.
