Spring is here
I walked over for coffee this morning with a Tshirt, no sweatshirt, even.

The dead-animal smell is worse, and I've investigated every place that I can see easily.
Unfortunately, there are a number of crevices that I can't get to without major furniture and book moving. Smelly candles only made things worse. Is "Febreze", a product I only know from Car Talk references, effective?

I'm still stuffed up and coughing, but at a lower level. I'm still functioning poorly.

And tonight is Earth Hour, 2030 to 2130, local time, http://www.earthhour.org.

The smell will go away within a week or so. If you can stand it you can just wait it out.

Thanks. Doing nothing is always an attractive option.

I have moved into the guest room, where I found that the cats have done a good job of bringing a fair amount of dirt into that bed, but there is enough clean bits for me, and I'll clean after I move back.

Febreze unstinks fabric. i think it does pretty well.

Thanks. I'll see if that's necessary after the smell dies down in the room, and I wash the bed clothes. Hanging them out to dry, as is my custom, will probably take care it, but ....

I've had dead-animal smell a few times.

Last time it was a not-quite-dried-up mouse behind some furniture (soon after we'd moved in).

The time before that it was under a bookcase (I finally found that when I dismantled the bookcase to move).

I also found a dried frog behind a couch once.

Cats can be very inventive...
