Life in the West Wing: Bug zappers and helicopter fumes Politiico, Aug 3, 2017, Tara Palmeri
Bug zappers buzz in the West Wing while flies zip around. The yellow carpet is worn, and it can sometimes be difficult to work in parts of the White House because it fills with fumes when Marine One lands or takes off on the lawn of America’s most famous home.
Some White House aides claim to have seen rodents, and say they’re used to having maintenance professionals moving around their work space to do work on the air conditioning system, which hasn’t been overhauled in more than 20 years.
Fixing it is top of the agenda for a building-wide renovation blitz scheduled for the next two weeks, while President Donald Trump heads to his golf club in Bedminster, N.J.
Along with installing a high-volume air-conditioning system, the work may include replacing worn carpets and addressing other issues, according to a spokesperson for the General Services Administration, which will oversee the work.
