Oh, that smell.....

I essentially have 4 leaks. Front windshield, Front AC, Antenna, and over the rear bed.

The windshchield one was old. I tore off the old black caulking and replaced it new new silicone caulking today.

The Antenna was an old one. Yesterday (in the rain) I wnt up top and took it apart. replaced the rusted screws with stainless steel and cleaned up the plastic case. Srcewed it back together and put aluminum AC tape over the top and put silicone around the base.

I did tear apart the inside of the AC to find a cracked drip pan and put some tub and tile caulk yesterday and a second coat today. The front AC is garbage anyways.

The rear leak over the bed may require me to remove interior rood panels to find the source.

I have been running a dehumidifier since yesterday.

I did replace a crack p-trap ring under the kitchen sink.

I poured a box of baking soda in the kitchen sink and poured a pan of hot water down it in addition to leaving an open box in the AS.

I also sprayed bleach/water solution under the sink area.

I will be removing the furnace unit and capping the LP for two reasons. First to take the furnace to the shop for analysis and second to see if the LP or furnace could be the source. I'll keep you posted.

I removed the front furnace (interior and housing) and capped the LP and the smell is almost gone!

Now I just don't know whether it is the furnace or the LP fitting to the furnace. I did spray soap and water on the fitting so my guess is the old Duo-Therm furnace has 'issues'.

My wife gets a big assist since her sinus system is far more sensative than mine. She actually smelled gas some time ago when we were living in Jellybean III as temporary housing.

Now I need to consider fixing the furnace or replacing it.

Good News! No smell, of course no heat so joining us in Marianna is out

Sounds like a bad gas valve on the furnace. The smell will eventually go away, but until then you have a reminder of the leak. If you plan to have the furnace repaired I would leave it sit out in the sun for a day or two to try to get all of the LP smell out. It is an additive that the gas companies put in so we can detect a leak or an open valve.
