Blank space between footer and page end

Hello,
it seems like there is an odd space on my website, right between the footer and the supposed page end. It looks as it did when I set padding-bottom for the body, but that is already set to 0.

I was trying to make both bottom and top dock directly to the end of the screen, just as the top is right now. But, oddly, for the bottom it just does not seem to work, whatever paddings or heights or margins I try to adjust.

I've been reading through these forums for almost 6 hours now while trying to figure out what the problem is. Therefore, any help is much appreciated!

Edit: Issue solved by the last posting of lmilesw. Thank you very much!
