This has been happening for a couple hours now and it's a really strong odor. There is also some construction going on on my block (they are coincidentally doing something with piping).

I have not painted this house for YEARS and I have not been able to find any burst containers or anything that might trigger this smell.

So far I just opened up all windows and am letting things air out and have turned off all electronics just in case.

I'm really concerned as if I'm in the house too long I start to feel faint (could just be my nerves though).

My mom will not call the fire department and just wants me to 'wait and see if anything changes'

This is the guest house on my mother's property.

The smell is strongly that of paint or paint thinner and copy-machine.
