What is that smell?!

A couple of days ago we noticed a nasty odor in the semi-finished part of the attic we use to store gear.

We tried airing it out.
We tried drying it out.
We finally decided that there must be a dead animal in the attic crawl space so we spent 2 hours emptying it out.
Once it was empty, the smell had migrated to a closet.
So everything in the closet was subjected to a sniff test.
So what smelled like a dead animal?
A pair of kids boots that had come out during Snowtober and must have been put back wet. Eeeeew.

All that work and it was just a pair of boots. Did you have to chuck them?

And what about the thing that looks like a pumpkin right next to kids boots?

Yup. We put them outside on the front porch (next to the pumpkins we never carved) and then threw them away the next morning.
