and, you know, i just took a look through the building code act, and it's actually not even legal to recycle air between apartments.

6.2.3.9. Interconnection of Systems

(1) In a residential occupancy, air from one suite shall not be circulated to any other suite or to a public corridor or public stairway

not to mention fire issues with putting a furnace in the kitchen, now that i think about it.

i think i should deal with this by getting a safety inspector in here and focusing on that part of it.
