Somewhere lost in the old messages, is a story about those flat

roofed " temporary " classrooms (that get used until they fall apart)

which had mold growing in the " dropped acoustic tile " ceiling from

condensation on the metal hangars running down to the tiles.

The old buildings weren't even leaking, strictly from condensation.

Before Melinda Ballard and " mold hysteria " hit the media, I asked a

number of plumbers if they had ever been working on pipes in a

basement and suddenly succumbed to a strange flu-like illness.

The responses were kinda like: " No... I, uh, wait a minute. Er, now

that I think about it - funny that you should ask... "

If I have to live in a small town such as Van Horn, I will probably buy some

land and build a house. Most poor people there use " swamp " coolers, which may

help humidify theair as it is around 5% -25%.

I know the homes in Mexico are more mold resistant but I still know that mold

has grown on the straw in the plaster.

I know a man who build steel homes not far from there. Building a home

mold-free and chemical free is a priority so any ideas? I thought about having

the water pipes on the outside of walls so I can see them!!

Sorry for many posts but I have not been able to check email since before

thanksgiving.
