Today we followed the gps to see John’s childhood house in Columbus, then on to Aunt Jeri and Uncle Bob’s house in Reynoldsburg.
We also fixed the terrible odor that had been plaguing us since Florida! The smell was usually there when we started our drive in the morning, but dissipated by noon… But SO obnoxious!!! I tried everything as soon as we smelled it – from the obvious to the obscure… Taking out the trash, plugging all the drains, making sure there is water in the drain traps, deodorizing the holding tanks, crawling around the floor sniffing out dead critters (none found), checking the propane sniffer and for missed propane leaks…. It turns out that I forgot about the shower drain when I was plugging drains! When we left Florida, we refilled our water bottles and I put them back in the tub/shower – not paying attention to the open drain! Since we don’t use the shower (we use it as a closet), the shower drain trap dries out and lets in odors if I don’t have it “closed!” The drain is one of those that just has holes, not a real cover, so it is something I can forget about easily… What a relief to finally solve THAT problem!
We will be staying with Aunt Jeri and Uncle Bob until Sunday.
