phantom poopy?

[cofi]

like once a week i will goto the bathroom and it smells like a raw turd even though noone has shat in there for hours.....what is going on here?

You got a cat? They like to mix things up from time to time. I'd check everywhere / everything.

[buffalobo]

Check p-trap under bathroom sink. When nasty stuff(hair, dirt, makeup, etc.) builds up and rots over time it smells bad, a gust of wind can occasionally cause a burp in the vent system and push a little of that smell into room(not actual sewer gas). If it happens with any regularity it is probably an unfortunate result of drain vent configuration. If it is a constant smell - real drain/sewer issues.

Unlikely, but if no other obvious causes, something to check out.

Try scrubbing that shitter from time to time.

A little cup of bleach in the sink drain, let it sit for an hour before flushing with cold water. Make sure the wax ring/seal under the toilet bowl is not leaking any, it could cause wood rot of the floor and a bad smell, no matter how small the leak. Check for any other possible hidden leaks.

I'll stop dropping ass in your house while you are sleeping, my bad.

Check the upper deck of the toilet. Might be a turd in there. [pileoshit]

sweet i will be checking it out today ill report back

edit it could be ghosts though as my house has been here in one form or another since the 1800s

Hell, if it's that old, there's probably all kinds of sources for wierd smells! Has the plumbing ever been snaked out? Probably had a few shitter overflows in its days, rotten nasty wood is definitely a possibility. A house that old could have all kinds of plumbing issues. And wiring issues too.
