Ugh. The improvised Nilodor diffuser, setting out cups of white vinegar, stuffing the exit point and maintaining air pressure against it with a fan all stopped the smell.
But turning on cooling and pointing the fan in the other direction to get cool air through my house has just spread the smell through my house again. Opening windows does the same thing.
Stink stink stink. I'll have to put the cooling in another room and face it in the correct direction 🤢
Yep. Feels kinda like breathing acetone.
I’ll just have to do some of my famous redneck engineering, set up the shite portable in my bedroom and force the air direction towards the lounge instead to see if that holds the waft back. Probably not as well as the desk fan trained directly on it but eh.
I wish I could just remove and dispose of the problem. Or buy some bigarse ants online and release them into the wall to just take care of the issue fast. Having this happen in summer sucks.
