We had a tornado shelter installed in our garage floor about 3 weeks ago and now our house has a terrible damp earth/woodsy smell throughout. The company says they've never had any complaints from homeowners of smells after installation. Do you have any idea what could be causing this and whom should we call to eradicate it? I don't think we have critters in the walls or attic--wouldn't we have heard something or wouldn't the stench be more like rotting meat?

OOPS, it's on page 89, the site doesn't want me to link to one page, so just scroll down the index of left side and select page 89 (Mosaics) first stamp as you scroll down page 89

I had a great KD in Mpls-St. Paul, MN. If anyone is looking for someone there send me an email.

4 watt bulb, Hmmm. What is the voltage of these bulbs? 120 V or maybe a low voltage such as 18 or 24 V. If these are low voltage bulbs, there will be a transformer somewhere that converts 120 v to a lower voltage for these lamps. The transformer must be sized to supply enough wattage for all the lamps. You say there are 24 lamps at 4 watts each; That is 96 watts for all 24 lamps. The usual house wiring includes a transformer that powers the door bells and thermostat for the furnace. You may find two or more transformers: one for the thermostat and door bells plus one or more for the axillary lamps. The usual location for such transformers is in the basement near a conduit junction box. The transformer may be mounted on a junction box. The transformer is powered from one of the house circuits that is connected to a circuit breaker in the breaker box. You said this is an old house built in 1908 and likely electrified at a later date, therefore you may have fuses instead of breakers. So, what do you have: 120 V or low voltage bulbs?
