Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I thought Washinton now had very strict environmental controls on woodstoves. They can really ruin a neighborhood, and I believe they may actually cause long term disease. One reason why I do not want to live in an area where there are small single family homes, because these are the type that actually try to heat with a woodstove.I know my suburban neighbors and have lived here long enough to see most of them move in... I always make it a point to find new neighbors stick out my hand and be sociable.
The most recent newbie lives next door and seems charming, retired, home a lot, etc but has us seriously considering a move from the neighborhood. They installed a wood stove that has caused us some substantial respiratory distress this winter and seem disinclined to make changes to it.
I hope you can get a resolution. If you can see their chimney smoke, the smoke cops might cite them, and even if there is no smoke you might be able to get them to take some environmental measurements.
