Bad Smell Investigation
Posted: May 23, 2024 Filed under: Uncategorized 1 CommentIn my burning the candle on two ends week I have had little time to do home drudgery. I had my last beyond beginners class at my house this morning. While it was going on I went to the kitchen to fill my tea and smelled a bad smell. I was unsure if it was coming from the garbage can, or the refrigerator because I smelled it when I was getting the tea out of the fridge, which is next to the garbage.
Since it was the middle of class I could not investigate. After class I threw some things away from the fridge that could be the issue, but then I had to drive to Dunn to teach my night class.
Dunn is a good drive away so it made for a very long day and week as this was my third day in a row doing morning and night classes.
I got home tonight and went to the fridge to fill my glass with ice and water. The smell is still there. I am too tired to start sniffing around. I have an early day taking a friend to the hospital tomorrow for pre-op work up before a big operation.
I am not looking forward to smelling everything inside the fridge. I recently clean it out and there is just not that much in there and nothing obvious is jumping out at me.
Russ checked the freezer to make sure everything in there was still frozen. Thankfully it was. He is not good at sniffing out something bad. I can’t count how many times he has asked me if something was bad because he has no sense of smell.
So this job is going to fall to me. I am not looking forward to tomorrow afternoon. I wish there was some device that could tell me what the offending odor item is that does not involve me smelling everything. I hate bad smells.
Does your house still have its original pipes? Over time, these can rust and start to leak. Mine did and produced a terrible smell. I had to replace the pipes in my 60-year-old house. It happens a lot. I hope the smell is coming from the fridge though, and you don’t have to deal with an issue like the pipes.
