There are four of us living in this split level rental house.
We all signed a one year lease, although the other three guys have actually been living here for several years.
We all get along very well, and share many hobbies in common. In fact, we had been gaming buddies for a while before I moved in with them. The downside is that with four of us slamming beers, smoking tons of reefer, and playing video games on the couch, our place smells terrible. I even opened it up for natural ventilation and fresh air, but the stink was too deeply ingrained for it to matter. Like I said, they have lived here for years, so this dingy, gag-inducing air quality is not the result of me at all. I inherited it, and now I don’t know what to do about it. I bought an air purifier, then quickly realized that wouldn’t do enough to fight this smell. Instead I bought a second air purifier, and I set up both of them in my bedroom, so at least I can make that one place a little better. I have been checking out some stuff around the house, and I found that there is thick dust built up on the air vent coverings. This tells me that the air ducts are probably just as dusty, and that isn’t helping the air quality either. Changing the air filters won’t do any good if the air ducts themselves are crusted up with dirt, dander, and hair. Maybe I should just move out.
