It is currently 26 outside and our back door is open so we can breathe.
I've cried more this past week than I have in years.
They taped under the sink and it was better.
Then it started coming through the dishwasher.
We're waiting for them to tape behind the dishwashers in both apartments. We requested it yesterday but they didn't do it so we sent another request that it HAD to happen today. The smoke last night was crawling over the floor.
This morning when we turned on our heater the smoke started pouring into our bedroom, which had been smoke-free until then. That means we're screwed if our air handler is attached to the attic. We know the smoke is in the attic because I smelled it coming out of the outside vents one evening. Attic smoke happened last time we fought apartment second-hand smoke, the time we almost got evicted.
We're living in a freezer with smoke creeping along the floor so we have to keep the windows open just to get some fresh air. I wasn't able to run the space heater last night because it was pulling the floor smoke into the room where we were sitting.
We have box fans going.
We're spraying an industrial Febreeze-type product, which is strong in its own right so I have to only do a small spritz or it makes me cough, too.
Last night around 10pm I had to stand outside for five minutes and breathe the fresh air so my lungs would stop hurting so much.
Please ask your deity(s) of choice to help us with this so we don't have to move, or if we ARE forced to move, to find us a smoke-free place to live and lots of nice people to help us move quickly.
