Family Room West Wall
Remember how I said the musty smell was coming back in the east family room wall after we felt-papered it up? Well, we decided to experiment with the west wall. We took all the insulation out and all the sheathing off (wet or not). Had it not been about to pour, we would have left it open, but as is, we nailed plywood back over it (without insulation) and tarped it. When it clears up again, we'll take the plywood off, treat the studs (there's no mold or rot on them anywhere but we'll treat them anyhow), put NEW insulation in, and the plywood back on. Hopefully the odor was just trapped in the old sheathing/insulation and this will take care of it. Course, it's adding significantly to the expense...but hey, we don't really NEED to buy food anyhow...I could stand to lose a few pounds.
