Okay. Last year, around this time we had this horrible smell in our bathroom. At first we thought it was just that our septic tank was getting full so we had it pumped. That didn’t help. So my father replaced a seal around the toilet. That didn’t help either. He eventually ended up replacing the entire toilet. The smell stayed and gradually went away towards the end of March. We forgot about it, until it returned last week. It smells horrible and exactly like it did last year. It’s kind of hard to determine where it is coming from bt it seems like this certain part of the wall. Before last fall, we had the back of our house sided and we figured that the smell was coming from a dead animal that had been sided into the wall. However, it was gone all summer and then recently returned. We live in a log cabin so it’s going to be a real difficult to take out the wall. Is there any way for us to pinpoint the source of the smell, a suggestion as to what is might be and how to get rid of it?
The bathroom is right off our kitchen, which is where everyone walks into the house. The smell is pretty embarassing and we have visitors alot. Shutting the door just makes it about a million times worse when you actually do have to go into the room and it’s too cold to leave the window open. Candles help a little but not much.
Lol and about the siding of a log cabin…. The part we got sided got alot of weather and caused the wall to rot a little. It’s not towards the road or anything so no one sees and my mom didn’t want my father up on a ladder trying to get out the bad logs.
