Found It

I finally found the source of the odor in the garage.
Let me begin by saying, I began the morning cleaning the garage out. I moved boxes, dumped the garbage can, Move the recycles. You got the picture? Do it all, move it all and you are bound to find something.
So I finally take the sink drain apart. There was nothing in it!! Not a thing, Good thing I got it back together with no leaks.
We have a central vacuum in the house, so I decided to lift that lid, just in case. It needed dumped but no odors there.
Now, I spy the old house vacuum. It has sat in the garage and been used for vacuuming the car, cleaning up the garage of spilled junk, Cleaning up Feathers, I spilled.
That was it, As soon as I opened the tank, it almost blew me away. I had to check further. The bag was so full it was overflowing.
(Hey, I so seldom use that vacuum it is just out of my mind.)
I took the overflowing bag to the garbage and opened it up. Sure enough, it was full of feathers and God knows what else.
Now my Garage smells fresh and pine sol clean.
Now on to my Tractor. I have now installed a new gas filter and gas line and four clamps. The clamps were the hardest part. That took dexterity while trying to work under the tractor seat.
I did it and Thanked God all the way through for his help.Without it (his help) I would not have completed the job.
I DID IT!!!
Next I sprayed the drive with Round up. Now maybe I can be ahead of the weeds.
This weekend David has to help me with the blades on the tractor. I tried to loosen the old ones but had no luck. I had put them on too tight. Once the new blades are on, we then have to put the deck back on. I dread that.
Whew!!! That is where I got the spider bite last time.
(I still believe it was a spider bite and, Yes it still hurts a little, and still has a lump but looks good compared to a few short weeks ago.)
So I did get out of bed today, I did accomplish a lot and I did get rid of odors.
Yea Me!!! Gonna walk in my garage and not flinch at the odor.
