First time here. But quite frustrated. Have been trying to figure what to take out of the house, what to leave. What is bothering me. Cost of Renovation of changing the rug in the house. What to do?
So when I come into the house after having been gone for a week, I smell old wood. I smell paint. Last night I woke being sick, shaky, and feeling like I was going faint. I ran opened all the windows more open. When I came back into the bedroom, it's like I can smell old wood. So I think about the window casings, the varnish has worn off, can now it be that the casings are off gassing? Or does this stuff all when it gets older, start to off gass?
I have and old cupboard in my sewing froom from many years ago, and when I open the drawer, it just irritates me so much, headach, irritable, spaced out. Why would it do this after 25 years? Can any one help me?
Can a new sealant over the window casings solve the problem?
