We Smell A Rat. Something Died In There!

Murphy's Law says that if something can go wrong, it will go wrong. This rings especially true just when you are getting ready to go away. WHAT IS THAT HORRIBLE SMELL? How can you leave on a cruise with the smell of a dead animal wafting through the house?


Our old GE washer and gas dryer pair is over 20 years old but they both just keep on going. (with a little help) It's almost comical. Seems like every time we plan an escape, we have some home catastrophe or appliance issue to deal with. Our son Tim says "Why don't you just buy new appliances?" But this event had nothing to do with the age or condition of the machines.


No sign of anything but the vent pipe needed vacuuming anyway and it is a nice day for working outside.


Wendy couldn't leave anything in the dryer or it would take on the horrendous odour.






The critter obviously came in through the flapper on the dryer outlet and fell to the basement and ended up in the fan of the dryer. It couldn't escape, so it died in there. Glad we found it!
