A while ago I posted that I had a mysterious smell in my house that seemed to come and go. Well, we finally tracked it down (I hope). I had not been able to detect any smell, but the other day I definitely smelled it- it seemed to be blowing out of the air return downstairs. My dh was able to go up in the attic and check the drain pan of our downstairs AC unit (he did a google search for possible causes of odors in air returns and that was high on the list). Sure enough it was gunky and smelly. He cleaned it out and flushed it with a cleaner, and we haven't had any odor problems since. Haven't sold the house, yet, either, but hopefully the smell is gone for good!

I am very relieved to have tracked down that smell. As for selling the house-well, at least dh is able to come home on the weekends. The weeks can get mighty long, though. Hopefully St. Joseph will help us out soon.
