I have seen houses where the once white walls were literally brown from smoke residue. My house was lived in by an old lady smoker I guess. Sometimes I still get this faint ash tray smell. I just finished doing "Art a Whirl" the big NE Mpls art crawl here. It was good but sales were down from last year. I got a lot of new ideas which is really cool. I sold some jewelry and I sold a painting too. Now that I have my sun room re-painted and re-arranged I plan to start working on my kitchen. It needs re-painting. Then after that I will do my bedroom! They were all last painted about 9 years ago and now I want different colors. My sun room looks really good in yellow with white wood work and now it is a nice place to relax and read and do yoga and chair massage. That looks like a nice columbine. I usually have it growing wild in my yard but this year I haven't seen any. It may have been eaten by a ground hog or big rabbits that have been around. Or maybe because it was so cold last winter. I am not sure. I just had to have one small tree cut down because it was getting too big for my yard. The other tree Near it on my side yard is a mountain ash and it is very pretty. I hope it doesn't get ash borer bugs now. I think I will plant a new tree. Maybe an another apple. I am not sure! Glad to hear things are coming along on your house. Love, Barbra Hi Jon,

Your hard work is paying off though so that's great. Sounds like you’re making good progress, smokers residue is

Glad that you are three quarters done with it, and that the smell is disappearing. I think everyone who is a smoker should read your blog. People who smoke should be sentenced to cleaning up smoke residue like you have done - maybe that would cause them to stop the habit.
