When I was a kid, we had a whole-house vent fan in the attic. It was much bigger than your average
box fan and vented the whole house pretty quick.  I have a fan that I think would be suitable if
anyone wants it. It is off the top of a heatpump and includes the vent cover.  It has a 820 rpm
1/6hp 220v motor and includes the vent cover which has the motor mounts.

contact me off-list if you are interested.
