The much older type was just sealed with paste wax (test with mineral spirits).

Renting an airscrubber with the right filter, ozone machine also works wonders with the sealing of the walls.

We coated the entire subfloor in Kilz Original which is the BEST method for sealing in foul odors!  

I am a bit biased toward using PPG products like their 6-7 (http://www.ppgpaints.com/products/interior-exterio...) or 6-15 (http://www.ppgpaints.com/products/interior-exterio...).The block is very porous, and these products are thick enough to fil it in and give you a sealed surface.  

We will check to make sure that the satellite dish wiring was properly sealed where it enters the building (which they rarely do).

Now, if you're not a professional, how can I be assured that all  the doors actually close or even stay open, that the windows seal, that trim actually fits as it should without filler or that a joist  you replaced was properly sized? 

Demo of old roofs (3-4 in place now), replace rotting wood planks as needed, light siding work, seal up old chimney & skylights, replace gutters/downspouts, and install new roof covering? 

it is on a crawlspace so the floor would come up to the baseboard then I would have to paint the floor with Killz to seal in the smell.

The butcher block countertops at Ikea were a thought because although you do have to seal them about every 6 mos., if they stain, you can just lightly sand them out and reseal to a new looking counter.My brain is fried at this point and any and all thoughts are appreciated.
