Hello,
I know this is a home construction forum, but I am at a loss and hope to get some helpful advice.
For a few days now, there has been a smell of stale beer/marijuana in the bedroom of my partner and me. We have searched everywhere and found nothing. It is absolutely certain that the cause is not related to these substances.
Now, I smelled the walls (sounds strange, I know) and noticed that a slanted wall smells strongly of this. It is the "sun wall" on the upper floor. The house is about 70 years old.
What could be causing this? Do we need to open up the wall? Could it be mold or maybe a decomposing animal?
I am at a loss.

Thank you in advance!

Maybe the Easter Bunny? Hiding all those eggs is so tiring, you need some relaxation in between... scnr

Quite possible, but the dog probably would have eaten it already...

Today the smell was very strong again, but only when entering the room. After being there for about a minute, it fades from the nose and becomes barely noticeable.

Hopefully, I will get to the bottom of this tomorrow… A bricklayer I know is coming, and we will dismantle part of the veranda. Today we repaired the silicone seal on the veranda door.
I will keep you updated!
