I do have a wall mounted fan in my kitchen, which is near the offending source of smoke, and is very effective in moving it away.....the smoke only, not the source :) So I have it going a LOT! The wind is coming from the south at times now, .....she is on the northside......so a little relief. It will take a lot more to rid my house and everything of the stale smoke though and it seems to hide in odd corners or inside cupboards, fresh as the day it was puffed.....just taking one day at a time.Nanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473143331781472223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024731970662295086.post-31318229184308248932014-05-29T09:13:56.176+10:002014-05-29T09:13:56.176+10:00Nanette,

I do sympathize, having lived with smokers in the past. I know the industrial fan has been suggested before but it might help. On the other hand it will send your electricity bill through the roof. But if it clears your house and belongings of smoke it might be worth the cost. <br /><br />JeniJeni at Northern Rivers Dreaminghttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Northern-Rivers-Dreaming/321272667962109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024731970662295086.post-68525030395688979862014-05-28T21:37:02.370+10:002014-05-28T21:37:02.370+10:00Hi Maria, no, it's the house next door.

It's rotten that you can't sit on your own deck without being smoked out...an industrial fan pointing that way to blow the smoke back perhaps? (hope that made you smile) . Good on you though for your positive attitude and working in your garden. When the parish art show throw is finished I should have another finish soon after that may 'interest you'. :-)Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594244181463706442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024731970662295086.post-13350751313337584512014-05-28T10:43:39.761+10:002014-05-28T10:43:39.761+10:00Hi Nanette, my back knows how yours feels. I'v...Hi Nanette, my back knows how yours feels. I've finally got my three raised vegie beds up and running now that the weather's cool enough not to fry the seedlings. I like your space saving potato sacks; when I lived in Coffs I cleared a big patch of ground by chopping down the weeds, covering with a 30cm layer of sugar cane mulch and then planting chitted potatoes in little pockets of soil and compost in the mulch. It killed all the weeds and grass and I got a great crop of spuds! See you soon in Chiconia, KateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024731970662295086.post-42428749546657526502014-05-27T23:04:44.411+10:002014-05-27T23:04:44.411+10:00Hi Nanette...what an interesting way to grow potat...Hi Nanette...what an interesting way to grow potatoes...I never heard of it before.
