Tried dry aging a whole ribeye in my beer fridge and my roommate almost moved out

So I wrapped a 12 lb ribeye in cheesecloth and let it sit on the bottom shelf of our garage beer fridge at 36 degrees for 28 days, and by day 10 the whole garage smelled like a gym sock dipped in blue cheese. My roommate came home from a shift at the plant in Wichita, opened the door, and just stood there sniffing like a bloodhound before asking if something died in the walls. Anyone else run a dry age setup at home, and did you have to bribe your family or roommates to keep the peace?
