Orient express

2.4 microF Condenser: $5

Screw driver (later found useless): $1.8

Insulation tape: $1

Being able to sleep under a fan running at full speed: Priceless. 

Background: The ceiling fan in the bedroom had progressively slowed down to a point where we could see the individual blades. Being an engineer myself (of the not-much-use-around-the-house variety), I immediately call an electrician to fix it. The guy never turns up even after multiple phone calls.  I'm spurred into action...after over a month.

  1. The brand: Orient. Its speed now: express.

  3. Swarna, that would depend on whether or not depreciation is factored in. :)
