...AND OUR WALL MOLDS! HAHAHAHA!
Seriously.
Our wall was molding.
Black mold, which explains my rise in headaches and irritability. _________________ AKA Skoon

No...
Mold on the walls also means there's mold INSIDE the walls, under the floor, maybe in the ceiling, in air ducts... EVERYWHERE.
It means tearing down, dehumidifying and disinfecting all over.
Note that some types of mold are actually poisonus, and breating in the spores or dried remains... is not good...
So depending on the type, this may be a job for specialists. And if not, it's a good reason to wear proper breathing masks. (Not just those disposable dust masks) _________________ "My name's Lion, Anthony Lion"

You make a good point, but maybe the mask would be just a little extreme.

Glad I live here in Wyoming where it is dry, dry, dry. No such thing as mold here. _________________ Paws Up!

I'm NOT kidding.
At least one type of mold has been linked to SEVERE lung problems, and even infant deaths.
Remember, fat you can get rid of(If I can do it, everyone can...), fixing damaged lungs is another matter entirely. _________________ "My name's Lion, Anthony Lion"

The school district I work for had a mold problem in one of its schools. The libraries in the schools are air conditioned and in one school the building supervisor kept the AC running so high that the walls were sweating. The water seeped into the carpeting and mold grew. I was one of the poor schmucks who had to pack up and cart out all of the books so they could rip out all the carpet and replace it. That was part of my summer job before college. _________________ Bad moods are like hangovers, they eventually go away. - A. Sigurd Olson |

I have a friend who attends College of Charleston and whenever she came home, she would get bad allergy problems -- couldn't wear contacts, coughing, nasal irritation. They finally figured out that the finished basement in their house has a leak and hence BAD mold problems. My friend doesn't come back to town much.
Seriously, get somebody to look at that mold. It could be coming from a dead body that someone stashed in your wall. Or maybe I'm just watching too much CSI.

My HS has a really bad mold problem. You can see it growing on the ceiling tiles. This problem is because the roof is so bad that we have litteral indoor waterfalls every time it rains... the janitors put out buckets in the hallways and empty them every hour or so. Occasionally ceiling tiles collapse and fall... thankfully no one's been hit by one yet.
Despite all this, ask our principal about it, and you get the reply: "Mold? There's no mold!"
Yeah, it ticks off almost everyone, but the higher-ups refuse to do anything about it. _________________ My FA |
