11.22.14: Away goes the smell...

Well, the smell is mostly gone.
Before this point, the smell was analogous to refuse from a sewer plant.
I sprayed the surrounding area with Glade aerosol spray because it was just putrid.
On November 22, however it smelled less intense--kinda like used socks: bad, but bearable, almost neutral.
It may be because the column settled a bit.

However, my mud column is somehow higher than it should, and all my water evaporated as well.
As such, I started a new column.

I used the same mud (so the egg and newspaper bits are still in there), but I mixed it up with a chopstick to sort of renew the mud.
I also through out about 1/3 of it to make room for a larger water column (about 2 1/2 in thick) and an air column (about 1 inch).

It looked like this by the time I finished making changes:

When the suspended mud in the water settled, the water became more clear and the column looked more like this:

I sealed it just the same way: cellophane and two rubber bands.
