Carrie Uncovered A New Smell!

This is the dining room where Cat Lady kept the two hulk dogs. The foundation sank fifty years ago, giving it a slight slope at the middle of the room pouring out toward the French doors you see in the picture above. We'll talk about the foundation contractors after they have visited next week.

Who would have guessed this room would be the smelliest of them all?
It didn't smell so bad at first. Carrie was nice enough to mop it before I tore the tile up with a hammer and crow bar.
Then it started smelling.
And it smelled some more.
It looks beautiful in the picture above, but it smelled like a 400 square foot wet dog. Why, you ask? We realized that when the dogs wee'd in this indoor bathroom it all rolled down the sloping floor to the area nearest the door. Here it sank beneath the tile and festered. It is difficult to see, but there are actually white and salty urine stains marking the outline of the tiles at the far end of the room. Glorious.

  1. Wow.

    I really don't know what to say other than, "Wow."

    Wow.

    Maybe, whoa.

    Then, I'd say, "They mostly pee at night, mostly."
