+1 on the purpose of the "louver". Just an anti-rotation method.

This video shows how the clips should install. Ignore the silly topic.

And for those of you who started twitching after seeing the previous photo, I present the 'nearly matched' ace hardware paint.


Which may cause subliminal twitches.

Better to have at least some load, any load, than no load.

Spinning around unloaded "can" cause problems.

Mine always has a box fan attached when running, both for a load and just a little extra cooling.

NWS says it's currently 102* outside.

Soon it will be Halloween. What gives? Global warming?

I don't understand things like this. How hard, or how much extra time would it have taken the guy from Dewey Pest Control to put the sticker on correctly?!

Yeah, they came around a year ago stealing business from Teminex by undercutting price. We get what we pay for, but I'm not sure the Terminex guys' sticker was any straighter nor more legible.
