Message last 5 days and your garage smells like death.

Got home the other days to find a hint of a putrid smell in my kitchen (not coincidentally next to my garage). Stepped into my garage and was nearly overcome by the stench. Spent forever turning the place upside down looking for the dead rat or squirrel or raccoon, whatever had died in there, but no luck. I started to fear it had died in the attic above the garage and that I was going to have to crawl around up there in the heat looking for it.

So prior to beginning the operation I decide to give the Z a wash. As I begin I soon realized that the foul odor had made its way outside. I take a peek into the lower air inlet.....

bird, it's what's for dinner

angle two

nicely wedged between the oil cooler and the fan, and just barely within reach of the fan blades which subsequently hacked its legs off

bird corpse stench residue cleaner and masking agent (aka simple green)

It is unbelieveable how something that barely weighs a few ounces can produce so much stench and at such a remarkable level of foulness.

I am thinking black metal mesh is next on my to-buy list.

Thanks for reading and check your "bird-catchers" regularly, especially you stillen-fascia peeps.
