I'm at work waiting for the call that the they are ready for my late night emergency efforts. Around 11:30 the phone rings and its Kim. She smells something like chemical burning and she's scared so I have her check some things but no source is found. I think maybe its the dehumidifier. Frustrated, I don't know what to do and unsure if I should stay or go (knowing if I go home I'll have to come back anyway which is an hour round trip), we decide to wait and see.
No more word from Kim and later I get home around 2:30 wondering if she is dead from fumes or the house is on the verge of burning up.
I get in the driveway and smell it immediately before getting out of the car... SKUNK.
A skunk had sprayed something outside our home and the smell woke Kim up and she thought it was in the house. Close up skunk smells a lot stronger and not quite the same as normal skunk from a ways away.
She felt silly when I told her, but at least she's glad she didn't call the fire department.
