When the husband returned >>with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days .>>>>>>Then slowly, the house began to smell .>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>They tried everything; cleaning, mopping and airing the place out.>>>>>>>>>>>>Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were steam cleaned >>.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in >>to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a >>few days and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive >>wool carpeting.>>>> Nothing worked!!!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>People stopped coming over to visit.>>Repairmen refused to work in the house.>>The maid quit.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to >>move.>>>>A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they >>could not find a buyer for their stinky house ..>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Word got out and eventually even the local realtors refused to >>return their calls.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to >>purchase a new place.>>>>>>>> <<>>>>>>>>>>>>The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>He told her the saga of the rotting house.
