Homemade air filter - revisited
Back on October 14th, I posted about a homemade air filter that we were going to try out because Brent was having allergy problems.
Anyway, it is so awesome!! We're really surprised at how well this makeshift thing works! We used it for a couple of days and his allergies improved, but then we kept forgetting to turn it on for about a week. Then there was one night he was up all night hacking and wheezing. We turned the filter fan back on and he slept so soundly - no problems at all.
We have the same type of filter on the heater, but I think this works because it circulates only the air in the room.
Here are some pictures of our cheap but wonderful filter fan. A box fan fits a 20x20 filter (but they were out so we got the wrong size).

This is my first time at your blog (linked from Frugal For Life), so I didn't read an earlier blog about the fan filter. After you have the filter attached to the fan, do you put it in front of the register or do you put it in the middle of the room or what? Just curious. Looks like a good idea!
I just put it in the corner. It's sort of near the register, but not in front of it. I don't think it really matters where.
Thanks for reading! :)
