A Smokey Atmosphere.


Since we've been here in Grenada, our apartment has smelled like cigarette smoke. In fact it smells like we smoke. I personally think it is a very nasty habit, but I think it is even a nastier habit when others have to suffer from it. Our Neighbors next door are very avid smokers. Yes, they are in medical school so I don't know why they would want to put themselves through that. It is so bad that when they smoke at night I can smell it coming through our wall.  When ever we leave the apartment and come back we are greeted with a face full of tainted air. I asked Nick if he could talk to the management here to see if they could do anything about it, but before we asked I decided to look in the apartment manual and it said that it was alright to smoke. Nick was thinking of a way that he could minimize the smoke in our apartment. He came up with plugging the internet jacks in the bedrooms next to the guys apartment. I told him it was  a horrible idea and I didn't think it would work. I said "I don't think plugging up those two holes will do anything but waste tape". He said give it a few days and so I did. Monday nights I have a warm-up class I go to and NORMALLY when I come home I get that unpleasant scent this time I could NOT smell it. I decided that I wasn't fully convinced so Nick and I went on a little walk yesterday and when we came back we specifically started to sniff the air for cigarette smoke, there was NONE AT ALL! I apologized to Nick saying that I should listen to his ideas more often. Moral: Your husbands do know what they are doing in some cases. Have a wonderful day!

I've had a few moments when I had to eat my fist too so it's okay :) I am glad you got rid of the smoke. That is the worst smell ever!

Awesome. I've seen on TV before that you are supposed to put a candle up to your outlets to see if air is going through them. The flame will shake or get blown out if there is. So apparently air does go through those little holes.
Awesome solution.

Don't get thrown off. We usually have no idea what we're talking about. - Jim H.

LOL @ Jim. I was just going to say that it's good that you're learning this early on in your marriage, but Nick really shouldn't get used to being right. :)

so if I tape the keyhole in my bathroom door my house won't smell like poo? Awesome.
