If there are other windows on the second floor, consider opening them and placing a fan blowing air out of the other windows.
Long Story Short, it looks like you're in place for three days.
okay but are the birds safe from the fumes? that is my main question.
To the point, 'Your' Contractor is doing the Work and has the specific knowledge of what is precisely being used and what safe guards are or are not required. This should have been discussed prior to 'your' signing a contract.
Or, is this your parent's house?
