walls weeping tar and other smoke related agents

I never realized how much BS you put out.
Are you this unfactual on other types of threads.

I have never, and I mean NEVER, seen a wall, "weeping tar and other smoke related agents".
I think that this would have to be right up there with a weeping madonna.

Really, are you this hateful and uninformed on other types of threads?

Joe,

If you haven't seen it, you haven't been looking. I'll gladly you walk you through the homes I routinely get that are stained, stink, discolored and all sorts of other things from the remnants of smoking.

I don't give a damn if you smoke in your home or not, but to deny that smoking physically impacts properties is flat out ignorance. Further to deny that that impact does impact a potential buyers view of a home is just stupid.

I spend several hundreds of thousands of dollars every year fixing up properties, I look at hundreds of properties per year.. don't tell me I don't know what I am talking about, just because your indignent over the fact that most of the population doesn't want to buy a house that smells like tobacco.

Puff away my friend, I don't really care, just don't make claims that smoke buildup doesn't happen in homes of smokers... it does, just like cat and dog smells build up in homes of pet owners. Smoking is a physical act, it produces physical properties and those properties do have physical impacts to properties.

Next time I'm putting the 5th or 6th coat of paint/primer over a nice beige tar stained discolored wall, I'll keep in mind the fact you don't believe it happens.... Flat world society lives.
