My wife goes to the empty apartment next door (we have a key) to clean up some stuff and get it ready for new tenants.
She comes back a while later saying the place "smells funny", so she had opened up the doors & windows to air it out. I go next door, and there's still an odor lingering in one of the bedrooms. A gas odor. I start sniffing around by the gas appliances and finally smell something by the bottom of the wall heater. I thought maybe the pilot light was out, but it was functioning perfectly.
We had a gas guy come out to check things out, and there was a leak. Apparently, one of the fittings in the heater had come a bit loose.
Now the thing that worries me is that my wife, while she could tell there was a strange smell, absolutely could not identify the smell as that of a gas leak. She could have literally blown up the entire building because of this. So, I dunno what to do. Maybe I can find a way to help her train her senses to recognize it somehow?
