Guest guest Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Sue, I know all too well how much anxiety/stress this stuff causes. I've felt on verge of nervous breakdown past couple months, myself. Trying to keep things as clean as possible, but not even feeling well enough to get out of bed. I'm not too sure about the decision to not replace leaky windows. After several home inspections, I've come to the conclusion that my leaky doors & windows have been a big factor in all my indoor mold. It's like my home contents have been basically sitting in my yard for however long my doors & windows have been leaking. One window was so bad, when the wind blew strong enough, it blew mulch right inside onto my kid's toys! I wondered why all my furniture was degrading so quickly & my walls & belongings were becoming so discolored! Just think about when it rains, snows, high pollen & mold counts; you wouldn't necessarily have your windows open during those times, but if they're leaking, they're essentially open. Just thought I'd share my experience with you, in case it could help you with your home. I know the frustration my leaky windows & doors have caused me, not to mention the loss of ruined belongings & I'm hoping the replacements will cut down on all the excess moisture inside. In fact, the company we're using, guarentees a 30% reduction in heating & cooling bills; that's huge! Hope this helps you; sounds like anything to reduce your anxiety/stress would be a good thing! Hope your anxiety/stress lessens, soon!! Hugs, Cheryl Yep, seems like anything I do I can't get away from it. What do we have to do, live in a plastic bubble? I swear if it isn't one thing it's another. I do the best I can to stay well and since I left my moldy school I've been great unless I go someplace that whacks me. Talk about a panic attack I think it would put me right over the edge!!!! We were even thinking about window replacements last year but I think I'll leave well enough alone and let a little air wisp through & not worry about the electric bill. I think the fresh air leaking through is probably a good thing. Who knows, it's just my gusss and hopefully it's the right one. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
