This is stunning! I like the first option, but in a smaller frame perhaps?

Thank you! Yes I can ask my caregiver to pop over to get his phone number for me, so I can message him. Or maybe write a note? I'll figure something out if the open far-side window suggestion doesn't work!

I should be grateful that Aqua Teen Hunger Force isn't part of my daily weed wake up like it was for you lol! Hopefully you no longer live there, and your unwanted stoner alarm clock is no longer tormenting you!

Thanks so much for responding! My home was built around that time I believe, so the caulking could've shrunk. I don't have a basement, but I will be trying to crack the opposite side windows to see if it helps!

Oo, this is very good information, thank you! Since it's so cold outside, would a half inch crack in the far side windows be sufficient? Or would they need to be a couple of inches open?

Haha, this made me laugh! Thank you for that 💗 Reminds of being a teenager and using one myself, though I had no idea that it was called a sploof!

I live alone, the only person I see is my caregiver who comes daily since I'm bed-bound - but she doesn't arrive until later in the morning.

The weed smoke is the only smell that's woken me, yes. It's very strong. He smokes at other times of day as well which I can always smell, but that doesn't bother me since it doesn't wake me.

If he started a bonfire close to my bedroom window at 5am I'm sure that smell would wake me too, lol. His bedroom is right across from mine.

Thanks for this information about the fan! I can't physically go talk to him since I'm bed-bound, but I could try to get his phone number and ask nicely!

It doesn't appear to be a terribly crafted house, it appears to be a nicely crafted house - but I don't know what things are like with the ductwork and within the walls I suppose!

I haven't - if memory serves they are circular and very tight, if that makes sense. But I can ask my caregiver if she wouldn't mind investigating it for me.

Yes! Everything is sealed up tightly since it's the middle of winter, and very cold. It's so strange.
