Black Mold

addicted2eu asked:


My husband and I are remodeling our kitchen. We are both pretty handy so we are doing most of the work ourselves, with help from a contractor on the major parts.

Demo started and there is mold in the drywall and on the bottom half of some of the beams/wood/studs. We are re-constructing most of the kitchen, so any mold we can see will be completely out of the house soon anyway.

The mold is black, does that mean it’s BLACK MOLD? Also, are we safe in the mean time until it’s all gone and the new materials are in place…it’s exposed?

I had my shower remodeled 3 days ago they replaced the vapor barrier, dry wall and re-tiled the whole 9. on the first day they did them demo and put up new drywall (water board whatever it is called) with the mud and tape. The contractor left for the day, when he left I went to check out the work and the smell in the bathroom was really foul, a toxic chemical smell not a sewer or mold smell. So I left the window open to air it out. They came back the next day and laid the tile grouted and the job is complete, looks good bah blah blah. Cut to today and the chemical smell in the bathroom is still so strong it burns my eyes the window has been open the whole time. They did not do any painting or anything, any ideas what the smell is and how long it is going to linger? thanks!

Is there any kind of paint out there that is resistant to mold? Are there certain paints you don’t want to use for the bathroom?
