The smell is gone today. Thank you to all of you who were so helpful. I would like to note that I have not posted this problem before. Yesterday was the first time I ever joined any forum. It is so nice that you can reach out to others who may have helpful suggestions. It is also a shame...

Hubby thinks that it is because our return vent for the central heat and air is in that hallway. He thinks it is causing humidity probs. Daddy says we may have a drippy line from air in the attic. Have to get up there and inspect.

Thanks for the help all!! I found it!! We have a globe shaped glass covering for a light fixture in the hall. I took it off and found mold in the insulation that sits just above the bulbs!! It smelled horrible! Hubby cleaned it up so we'll see tom.

[/url] Very interesting. Helpful too. Thanks!

As a matter of fact we do. It is located on the other side of the bathroom which happens to be at the end of the hallway where the smell is most concentrated.

Ha Ha! If that's the case my whole family must be crazy!

Yeah. It's coming from the hallway. Can't smell it outside. It's not local. We don't have the neatest house in the world but it isn't gross. Really, it smells like it is coming from the ceiling or the walls.

Does the fact that smell is directly related to the heat mean anything? The hotter is outside the worse the smell.

Point taken

No. Previously undevleoped land in a rural area. Crawlspace has always been kept closed. Shouldn't be anything under there.

Dad says probably mold or snakes!!!!!! I am completely freaked out. Anybody know how to kill mold or get snakes to leave?

Thank goodness we are not near the coast. I did see some info on the other person's post that suggested electrical issues. I just joined today. I My dad is a master electricion. I think I will get him out here for an inspection.

Lot of great suggestions but where do I begin? Do I need to contact my builder of call someone in to check it out?

It wasn't a repo. It was actually a new construction. We are the first owners and we have kept it up very well. By the way, the hotter it gets outside the worse it is.

Help!! My family and I moved into a brand new house 6 years ago. Within a couple of years we started noticing a slight strange fishy smell in the hallway. Never have been able to locate it. It usually goes away in the winter and comes back in the summer. This year it is terrible!! you can...
