Yesterday my home in the Portland Oregon area had an appliance issue
that resulted in a small blaze inside the home. Because I have a new
- airtight house - the smoke literally fused itself into my
appliances, structure, electronics everything.

I want to know how you got a new airtight house. Building code here, just
north of you in Washington, requires houses to Breath...with a capital B.
Tons of openings in sofits, vent holes in the windows. You name it.
Especially with the moisture we get the Pac NW, I would think an air tight
house would be a health hazard. What's the thinking about an airtight house?
