Recently after a good day of painting we decided to have a fire in the fireplace and enjoy a quiet evening here. We got the fire going and then realized that the damper had been closed. You guessed it, smoke every where. Several cups of water later, the fire was out but the smoke......So with the temperature about zero, we opened all of the doors and windows throughout the house in the vain hope of getting the smoke to dissipate. It worked to some degree but the smell lingered. When the kids got home, they seemed to notice the smell. By yesterday the smell was finally gone, but we still have a bit of cleanup here and there.
On the painting front we are currently downstairs, and the living room is now done. Today we are planning to take it easy and not put in an 8 -11 hour days. We were quite tired last night, but the living room does look good. Happy travels.
