We had a crawl space with a dirt floor at our old farm house.. There was a full basement under most of the house...but, I think the crawl space was under the original part. We kept getting a very 'earthy' smell from that area. We laid large sheets of very heavy guage vinyl over all of the exposed dirt, taping the overlapped seams with duct tape.It kept the dampness amd moisture out of the crawl space and got rid of the earthy odor.

It also kept moisture from getting into the floor joists and causing them to rot. If you use the basement area for storage, it might just be worth while to have a cememt floor poured.It wouldn't take too much to have cement delivered and it can be poured in through a basement window. That would be the best permanent solution and give you additional storage space.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
