Open Question: Is it safe to spray paint in my basement? and more... Open Question: Is it safe to spray paint in my basement?I recently spray-painted something in my basement. Because I live in Maine, it is impossible to paint outdoors during the Winter (too cold, obviously). And because my garage is neither heated nor insulated, the only place I know of to be able to paint until it warms up outside is in the basement. Also due to the cold, having windows open for ventilation is not an option. Because of the obvious issue of breathing the harmful vapors in an unventilated area, I have a chemical respirator mask which I've used. I should be safe from brain damage, however my mother pointed out something to me which I believe is a valid point. We all know spray paint propellant is highly flammable, and with the furnace down there there could be a risk of igniting the fumes if they build up in the air. Obviously I'm not painting right next to it, but it's right down there with me, and once again, no real ventilation. I need to know (preferably from somebody who actually knows) if it is too dangerous for me to try this anymore. If so then I don't think I'll have any other options but to wait until May or whenever the sun warms it up enough up North here to paint outdoors or at least with ventilation. And thats a huge bummer. But nevertheless, I'm not willing to put myself or the house at risk if that danger is really there. I appreciate all your help! Open Question: Electricians out there, please help!?I just bought a house, and I have two lights in the house, one in the bathroom, one in the kitchen. Both are on separate circuits. I have replaced the switch for both lights already. When I turn them on, there is a slight delay. Probable one second between me flipping the switch and the light coming on. What is causing this? The fixture in the kitchen is fairly new (I did not install), but the fixture in the bathroom is quite old. Has anyone ever seen this? More Recent Articles |
