    Can I ask that you please be cognizant of where your fan blows the
    products of your work? I have neighbors that do NOT appreciate
    poisonous fumes, and neither do I. In addition, I have strong
    allergies to citrus products - and don't particularily like arriving
    at the emergency ward at the local hospital, unable to breathe. Well,
    I'm through venting now (pun intended).

Thanks,
Rex
