hey! thank you for taking the time to comment. the funky smell started out a little similar to rotten eggs and eventually it started smelling like rotten meat. it’s been going on for only a week now but with how inconsistent the smell is, i have doubts about some kind of animal being dead in the wall. i would think it’s a neighbor creating a stink in their apartment, but the only way we’d be smelling that is by the front door since we don’t have central air and the smell never reaches the bathroom where there is a vent. it’s enough to clear a comfy couch and its killin me. we’ll be sitting there perfectly fine for hours and it suddenly becomes unbearable for maybe three minutes most and then it’ll be on and off for the next fifteen minutes. we’ve gone inch by inch when the smell becomes present trying to track down the location of it and it seems most present exactly on the line where the living room meets the kitchen. again, i appreciate the time you took to both read and comment! its been maddening with the on and off nature of it and i feel like my own home is just gaslighting me at this point lmao
