It took us a year to find this place. Our old place was on a large parcel of land, and the new owner found out that the city forbade mixed use. He was very kind in letting us have all that time. When we went to rent, and bf’s past came up, we were shot down, even though it is illegal to do so. We prefer to take care of this ourselves, because we cannot become homeless.

I think we’ll be able to handle this and prevent an occurance. The carpet has to go first. If I have to, I’ll nail the bloody shower curtain to the wall. This is an expensive one, too. Can’t use magnets, because the tub is prefab plastic. Straight bleach and an industrial strength heat gun(we have one)will fix it. We know folks we can scavenge dry wall and maybe insulation from.

I have a feeling that we’re going to have to rip out the subfloor as well :(

At least the air is dry as dust up here. My folks had the mold problem from hell. Coastal community.

Be careful, that mold is deadly.. I don’t know if you watch Amazing Home Makeover on ABC, but a family they helped last year, the father died suddenly from toxic mold in their house.... wear masks and use special vacumns to pull that stuff out of there....
