odor update


not a lot to say this morning-- except that we finally made it up into the attic yesterday to investigate "the mysterious odor".

it was quite difficult a task, as the odor had now dissipated. i crawled through the entire attic, half bent over, and sometimes on my knees.. in maybe 90 degree temps up there. it was extremely hot, and painful. obviously. but i was on a mission, and was not about to give up, until i found what i was looking for. which i eventually did. at least i'm 90 percent sure i did.

of course not until after i had covered the entire attic. cut my shin, had the itchies from the fiberglass insulation, became dizzy from the heat, sweating, and claustrophobia, and was highly irritated from all of the above.

but then it happened.. i looked under the a/c unit.. and there it-- or they were.. one large-- sort of-- and two very small.. "areas" "spots".. whatever -- that looked quite a lot like .. well.. my best description would be molded cat vomit. yep. that's the best i can do. and no i didn't take pix.. at charlottes request. :)) i was tempted but really, by that time, i was just glad to have found it..and so very ready to get get the hell out of there. i laid more poison, and got down. satisfied the job was done.

i am hoping there are no more up there-- but i think that is doubtful at this point, but we will see. and i will let ya know.

so anyhow-- if anything happens worth sharing today i will let ya know.

happy sunday--

Yuck!! I'm glad that chore is behind you. You are much more brave than I am.

So was it a mouse, a rat, a cat....what? At least it wasn't rancid meat. Our car still has a residue odour which is a polite way of saying it still reeks.
