I rode over and there were 4 ceiling fans curbside but behind all the boxes, etc. Whomever did the uninstall took care to keep everything together. I'm assuming they all work but homeowner just wanted to replace since these had some exterior pitting and surface corrosion. Guess it's possible one stopped working and they replaced them all so they'd maintain all matching styles....don't know. I'll find out soon enough.
I went on my bike ride - which was fantastic, BTW - then came home and took the Silverado over to pick them up. Brought 'em home and put under my canopy in case it rains again tonight.
I may end up using these for my back patio. Fans come in so handy in this climate!

Well - those fans look a LOT like the frond style bladed fans we bought to install when we had our back deck expanded and screen enclosed. Unfortunately - they were the worst fans we've ever had! You could stand directly underneath them while on high and couldn't feel but the very slightest breeze. After no more than 5 minutes of operation, I took all 3 of them down and returned them to Lowes and bought fans with "regular" style blades. We are much happier now.
Those look like they at least got some use - so maybe they'll be okay.
