The only one rebuttal I would have is about the absence of "white sandy beaches" not sure if this is a relative perception matter but all our island formations are formed from coral and other calcium carbonate materials.

If you're worried about carbon monoxide, put a CO detector.

@Ron Drake I was going to look at a commercial property in Ferguson, supposedly cheap, but it has a high carbon content and mentioned some rehab was probably needed, don't know, sounds fishy to me. 

My main reasoning behind this is due to Baltimore County's rental licensing requirements that are getting more and more strict on having carbon monoxide detectors throughout a rental unit.

Smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors and extinguishers are probably on the list.They will check inside and out..

Without it, the water heater could conceivably use up all the air in the closet, and either go out, or burn incompletely, creating carbon monoxide.In my current house, the water heater is in the laundry room in the basement, and if I shut the door to the laundry room, the room is "too small" according to the specs. 

hello all , my tenant called me and said that he smelled gas while using the stove and it set off the carbon monoxide alarm.

If you look it up, you will see that linoleum is made of made materials such as solidified linseed oil (linoxyn), pine rosin, ground cork dust, wood flour, and mineral fillers such as calcium carbonate, most commonly on a burlap or canvas backing.

As well Obama has made himself accountable for a reduction of carbon emmisions by 80% by 2050.

it was a huge headache, but we were successful, and afterward, the house was spotless. in the house you're working on, i'd say, it wouldn't be difficult, since it's not full of personal items. but diatomaceous earth only works if the bugs make physical contact with it. we used ourselves as bait, sleeping on air mattresses in the center of the living room, but it was not ideal, especially with a baby. another thing to consider is that breathing it in can be harmful to your lungs and dries your skin out(it also dried out my rugs and floor a little, but, i wanted to cover all my bases). be sure to get the food grade stuff, wear masks when puffing it around, and only puff small amounts(we used a condiment bottle- for mustard or ketchup). another way to lure them through the de is with heat and carbon dioxide(because we generate heat and carbon dioxide)- you could use candles, but be careful leaving them unattended if you are not staying at home through this process. i wish you the best of luck. bed bugs are no fun.
