I'm a new freelancer so a lot of your tips and conversations have been *really* helpful so far. Regarding air quality: I built myself a DIY air purifier for ~$30 and it works great. The previous tenants of my apartment owned cats, which I'm allergic to. Despite steam cleaning, I was still pretty miserable from cat dander floating around. The DIY purifier is basically a box fan with a furnace filter duct-taped on top. I was dubious until I saw the following video by U Michigan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH5APw_SLUU So basically, if anyone needs a cheap air purifier that works pretty well for $30, I highly recommend the DIY route.
