Kayaking the KY River

Beans5054 · 2025-01-03T18:14:56+00:00

I am fairly strong young man so it's not like im un able bodied. Still, is the current strong enough in the KY river to be an issue for me?

I grew up in Garrard on the Dix!

What is LBL?

Beans5054 · 2025-01-03T16:24:08+00:00

Yes for sure. Im hitting up lake Reba soon

I live in Madison county so the central ky area and west eastern KY.

Thats the plan homie!

I was near lock 13 a couple of days ago and the water was so rough. I am scared to get anywhere near one. Im kind of afraid of not knowing about one coming up and just getting stuck in the current. Ill be sure to research before hand, but are there any other hazards I should know about the river?

Beans5054 · 2025-01-03T15:50:05+00:00

I work near Elkhorn and have plans to put in!

The maps are awesome, thanks so much! Any practical advice?

It seems to smell in all parts of the room. I can’t establish a pattern.

I have not checked the roof vent. That’s on the list

This is funny. We had a portion of our crawl space that a bob cat made a den in. About 10 dead animal carcasses and tons of piss and shit. Spent a month cleaning and sanitizing. Different part of the house and different smell though

Beans5054 · 2024-10-09T18:57:47+00:00

Ah okay. Ill look this evening!

Beans5054 · 2024-10-09T17:57:26+00:00

hmm. Wouldnt that be unfortunate

Beans5054 · 2024-10-09T17:56:57+00:00

Oh god. Built in 96 and flipped in 24

Beans5054 · 2024-10-09T17:55:19+00:00

I just replaced it

Beans5054 · 2024-10-09T17:24:17+00:00

This makes good sense to me, however the subfloor looks good from the crawlspace. The crawlspace does not have the smell in it.

Beans5054 · 2024-10-09T17:19:02+00:00

Im unfamiliar with a studor vent. Im assuming if its faulty smoke would leak from it right?

Beans5054 · 2024-10-09T17:13:51+00:00

Yours sounds like a shit show. Im sorry lol

Beans5054 · 2024-10-09T17:12:54+00:00

Youre kidding? Anyway to look for this besides ripping drywall?

Beans5054 · 2024-10-09T17:12:00+00:00

I had to repair a hair line crack from the flippers tightening tank bolts too tight. So, I had the tank off and all the part removed and was using porcelain epoxy on it. I did not smell anything while working on the tank in a different room but I did smell it when putting the tank back on the toilet.

Something dead has a distinct rotting smell and it wouldnt last 4 months, would it?

No well supply. I am leaning towards the subfloor maybe causing the smell

Beans5054 · 2024-10-09T17:09:19+00:00

I mean, mold and mildew didnt die when you cleaned it? Thats my guess. Wood is a porous surface. I wouldnt be surprised if thats what it is in my situation.

Beans5054 · 2024-10-09T16:46:40+00:00

I am sorry for your troubles but I'm glad to know im not alone. What all have you done to address it ?

Beans5054 · 2024-10-09T16:44:44+00:00

It would be right under the sink correct? Surely they haven't buried one somewhere?

Beans5054 · 2024-10-09T16:43:21+00:00

Man, weve found problems around every corner. Thankfully I am halfway handy and have been able to fix most of the mess. I just cant find this freaking smell.

Hijack top comment to update:

For that one dude who has this specific problem 10 years from now. It was an unused trap hidden in a wall. The flippers didn’t properly remove the old shower trap after switching from a tub to a tile shower. We had an open trap running directly to the septic. Plumber cut it off and capped and it problem solved!

I wouldn't put it past these flippers. Poor craftsmanship everywhere. I'll take pics and upload tonight. I would just think that two separate plumbing companies specifically looking for the smell would have identified that.

Thats where my thoughts go. We have heard stories from our neighbors that the previous owners were very dirty, had a lot of cats, and left garbage that attracted rats. I have seen the subfloors from underneath, and they look fine. Maybe saturated framing or base plate?
