Yes, well, I'm off this thread. You can't talk sense to some people.

I'd guess that any house that people lived in for 80-100 years would take quite a bit of work to rehab, but for heaven's sake, blaming it on smoking is so strange...I'm still shaking my head over the brown crust--that was the oddest thing I've read from a putative conservative in quite a while.

I've also known of some pretty shady "rehabbers" who slap a few coats of paint and some cheap carpet over serious water and bug damage, and then sell to unsuspecting kids at a premium. I don't think much of the trade as a whole. Mostly they're out for a quick buck and wouldn't dream of buying for themselves the crap they turn over. Imaginary smoker's damage is the LEAST thing wrong with these structural nightmares.

I'm not far behind you, my FRiend, that school bus shows up very early, and when hubby doesn't have to leave for work early the little one does like to see both mommy and daddy before she goes.

Of course we all know that I am lying with that comment because it is a well known fact that smokers aren't two parent married families who have any interest in their children.

We bought a small farm house from the son of the man that had built it in 1945. Every last bit of problems (none) were explained to us - and I haven't washed a bit of smoker residue from anywhere, and I know the old man had been a smoker because when we first looked at the house, there were ashtrays everywhere.

Ventilation!!!!!

After 5 months I remembered to wash the window that is next to my desk - fingerprint grease and doggie nose residue was all that was on the window. Proper ventilation and the proper tobacco product will put to rest all of the bogus claims of the anti-smoker nannies everytime!!!

Have a good night - talk soon.
