For the 99.999% of you that do not follow my life religiously...we added an additional parcel to the farm this past summer which included the original homestead. House was built in the 1840's. Over 20 rooms, each with a fireplace. One of those fireplaces had an issue and the whole place went up in smoke in the early 1930's. 1.5 original stone foundation walls from the first place survived, so they filled in the remaining walls with block and built the now much smaller home. Original settlers sold the place several years ago and that fella jacked the house up so as to give just about 6' of headroom down there and put modern block across the top of everything. So you have three evolutions of masonry in the walls. This fella also removed about 24" of the ugly old concrete floor all around the perimeter and put in a drain system with two sumps that pump any water out to the front ditch. Then he sold it to owner 3. Nice young couple but they put a litter box down there...need I say more. They also covered the cement floor with rubber tiles and it would get kinda slimey under there. Then they moved and sold it to me.
Enter me. All of the junk/filth has been removed. No flooring or carpet allowed in the basement. I waited until the dry wintertime and mopped the whole thing with bleach water. No real help. The issue is a fairly strong moldy/musty, almost sour smell. I cannot really blame the cats. Their stuff is gone and it does not really smell like that. Doesn't smell too bad upstairs most of the time. Basement is staying pretty dry, even in the fall. Pumps were not running excessively. Just would really like to get rid of the smell. Any ideas how?

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
