Default Re: Weird smell, what can it be?

Ha ha, I don't have radiators!

Brand new fridge a couple of weeks ago so definitely not that. Mr LPH often complains about rancid cheese in the fridge, he says rancid, he means 'ripe', and still probably a week away from my idea of being edible.

Yesterday the smell had got a bit better though not disappeared completely. 3 things had changed so of course I can't pinpoint the cause.

1) I scrubbed the bottom 3 stairs of the stair carpet in case something had been spilled on it I wasn't aware of by the nephews while running round the room.

2) I moved the armchair into the conservatory as that was located in the area where the smell is strongest - but the smell hasn't now appeared in the conservatory so I can't think it is that something has been spilled onto the chair and made that smell.

3) We've had very heavy rain - so if Phil's theory on drains drying out/cracking is correct then the heavy rain may have made a difference. There are two man hole covers outside that living room window suggesting that the drains run under the house in that area.

Maybe Pete the previous owner really did shove a couple of bodies under there when he re-laid the drive - I mean we always joke about these things but my friend Dinah went missing when we were 18 and years later her body turned up under Peter Tobin's patio.
