The ozone generator sounds great, but in our experience with turning rentals, we still have to do a lot of scrubbing before we paint due to the tar/nicotine.

The tips tend to be the darkest and what soak up the tar/nicotine in the air.

How did you get rid of the nicotine on the walls?

If so, how labor intensive is it to remove the smell and nicotine from the house (i.e. walls, air ducts etc), that is, assuming it's possible?

The odor permeates into all of the rooms in my apt making relaxing and sleeping somewhat difficult.

Secure bank financing.House, at the very least needs a serious paint/nicotine removal job, new carpet/flooring throughout, some junk removal in garages, new refrigerator.

If I did go that rout I'd have to put permeate financing on it as soon as I completed my rehab @Billy Mclachlan I actually have sent her a hand written letter but I do like the way you think.

The principal differences being:the electric baseboards (EBB) are install and controlled on a room-by-room basis; andEBBs rely on convection to permeate heat into the room (there is no fan circulating the air)In theory EBBs should have similar operating costs to a centralized electric forced air furnace (if not lower), however, in practice, that is usually not the case.Because of their reliance on convection, EBBs have slow recovery - i.e. if there has been a draft (someone opening an external door or window) or if the heat has been set back during the day and was turned up on the occupants return.  

These items will often become permeated with liquids or even just odors forcing their removal from the unit.

I will try and post more so that I can take advantage of the expertise and networking that permeates through these pages.
