    Just wondering what gets the smell of paint fumes out of the house.Im in the dog house and in 2 days I will be again.Its only in the back part of the garage that is now a bedroom seperated by drywall ,insulation and plastic ,I did try to make it fume proof.I did have the back door open. Looks like Im sleeping alone tonight.

    After you're done painting go in the house and burn some microwave popcorn or microwave some fish and I bet she won't even notice any paint fumes.

    charcoal should do the trick, just open a bag and put it where the smell is the worst.

    I have the same problem when i spray painted a few parts the other day. My garage is connected to the living room. The garage door was even open when i was painting. Im going to try and buy some new weather seal to put around the man door that leads into the garage. Maybe you should try a fan or something. Im eventualy going to build a paint booth with 2x4 frame and plastic sheeting. Kinda like a green house.

    Build a huge doghouse with a paint-booth?:D Cracked me up that you said in two days you know you're gonna be in trouble again! LMAO! Seriously, maybe a kick-azz ventilator system...one of those belt-driven furnace fans ducted to the outside. **** the warm air from the house into the garage, and out? Of course, then you might have a streak down the side of your house the color of your paint! Or maybe tinted laundry hangin' on the line! Good luck.

    Time. Lots of time. Move a heater and TV to the dog house before next coat, spend all your money on speed equipment so there's nothing left for her lawyer. This is unfortunately one of those areas where women start to show a completely different set of values and priorities than men...
    If she's still there when the fumes clear, chocolate, flowers, and groveling are indicated...if not, get on with the third coat.

    If you knuckle heads have a gas stove, water heater or gas central heat, your going to blow your self away. Don't paint near open flames, fumes travel.

    Blowing yourself up might be a kinder fate than facing the wife after the third coat goes on...

    Here in the central valley of California no one can smell the paint over the meth cooking. Try cooking up some meth in the bathroom.

    Listen if you go and fry some "smelts" on the stove, she will leave. I think they rank a**** the smelliest fish to fry.
