shelliemacs Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 David, do you have a fan that you can face out the window to try to blow the smoke away from your house?? if no, see if there is any way he can put his fire out be explaining how its affecting your breathing. worth a try.

Fall54 Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 David, Fix the situation either by talking to him or doing what Shelly said. You certainly dont need that!!! I am praying for you my friend and I love you! God Bless You, Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NellW Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 How awful! You are right, it is a gorgeous night here in Flushing too, but our neighbors are having a bonfire.. same type of problem and while I don't have lc I do have congestive heart failure.. so can't breath either. They do seem to have put their fire out now thankfully. I agree you could talk to them but we do have a fan in the window that blows out and that does help. Hope you and yours have a good Sunday, Praying for you. xxoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 We run into the same problem here too---luckily for us our bedroom is on the opposite side of the house. If you figure something out, please let me know. gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 You poor old thing! I know how you feel. We have a lot of wood stoves in Northern California in the spring, winter and fall, and forest fires in the summer! Most of the time it is ok, but when there was a recent fire in Colfax, CA last week, we had to keep our windows closed, and without air conditioning, it can get hot. We do have a swamp cooler, but that doesn't keep out all of the smoke. Good luck. tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
