Abstract: A device and method for providing ventilation to an interior portion of a crawl space. The proposed blower has a substantially cylindrical housing and a hollow interior. A fan is mounted in the hollow interior of the housing, and is configured to draw air into and propel air out of the housing. The blower is suspended from the floor joists by chain, wire, synthetic cable or the like so that the blower hangs in the crawl space between the floor of the house and the ground. In the preferred embodiment, the attachment means for hanging the blower from the floor joists is provided on both ends of the housing. The attachment means are preferably non-rigid so that they dampen the vibrational energy transmitted to the floor joist by the blower.
