The yard reeks; the attic smells like smoke; my kid's bedroom smells like smoke and I don't know if it's because of the air intake in the attic, or the extremely strong odor in the yard on the other side of her exterior door. It's so strong that another neighbor thought there was a fire somewhere and came looking around the houses the other night. I'm worried about the day care air quality.
Is this unusual or has this happened to anybody else?
I had this issue when I lived I a duplex years ago... I ended up keeping windows closed & running AC or Heat more than normal. I love airing my house out... last year during the TN fires, I had to keep my babes inside for months because of air quality in East TN. Sucked big time considering how close some of the fires were.
