Suggestions? Google is failing me here.

Gee a 14k house, what an outhouse with a view. Sounds like a great
Hood. I left off the "neighbor" because I bet there is little of
that.- Hide quoted text -

Well I had a rental for a good many years the lease stated clearly NO
SMOKING. What a filthy dirty stinky disquisting habit.

I attracted tenants who didnt like smoke stink.

With about 25% still smoking

The non smokers were attracted to my rental home

You CANT wash the odor of smoke or urine out of walls floors etc, let
alone air ducts and furnaces.

For soild surfaces first scrub well then prime with BIN or KILZ oil
based primer, for floors coat with outdoor polyurethane, its smelly
but wouldnt soften in moist weather. Have furnace guys clean and
deodorize all ductwork.

Then paint everything normally toss all carpeting and pad.

incidently this is what the fire restoration people do after a home
fire.

its costly and a ton of work but the only thing that truly works
