My house reakes of fiberglass resin, so im looking into getting a fan to suck air out of my 1 door garage. Its not to big in their. I can open all 4 doors and they just touch the walls, and i have another 4 feet infront of my suv. So i was looking at home depot there was a 300 cfm fan for $200, , will that work, , it looked like a bigger bathroom fan. Or will i need something larger?

I would say just get a 20-50 dollar shop fan. 200 would be waste of money IMO. If you want you could also rig something up so that pulls air out through a door.

It gets bloddy cold here tho so i can't open doors or have holes anywhere which is why im aiming for that kind of fan.

A squarl cage fan will make a vacume in your garage if you want it to. You could either cut a hole and make the fan removable with a door over the hole so you could close it when not in use. Or you could crack the garage door and stick the fan just under it. I know what your talking about though. I made molds of the wheel wells in my jeep yesterday and it still stanks like a$$. I would wear my respirator when I drive but in Alabama I'm sure theres already a law against that.

hey oonikfraleyoo youre from alabama. Me too man, im in birmingham, which area are you in?? I dont think it'd be illegal for you to drive with it on, im sure you'd have a lot of people laughing at you. They would probably think you had a phobie of outdoor germs or something, hehehe.

Hey Alpine guy if you buy a fan that mounts in a wall, you can also go to a heating and air company and you can buy a vent that will close off. So when you're not using it you can close it to the outside air to keep it warmer in there.
