I can't find the mold

[Guest guest]

I feel stupid to keep writing like this but who else am I going to talk to?

I can't find the mold in my kitchen-the sheetrock looks pristine but the mold

tests are all positive. It's winter now so there's barely a smell but when

summer rolls around I will be in hell.

My brother (a former contractor) suggested taking ALL the cabinets on the bad

side away from the wall, tearing out the sheetrock, replacing it with waterproof

wonderboard (my idea), and checking the wood behind the sheetrock. Maybe they

need to be replaced with metal studs. Maybe some water dripped into them. I

don't know. And please don't tell me to call the mold remediation people-they

are mostly charlatans and always too expensive. I did a better job than they did

in my basement and I felt really stupid paying them to do what I could have done

(and ended up doing) for half the price.

The rest of my house is good so I can hide upstairs or in the back-if the

basement was finished I could actually go down there too because it's that dry

and clean! So please don't suggest moving-this is clearly not a problem I can

move away from-this is a life problem that I will always have. I had a bad

exposure now every little thing is making me sick and just my luck it's the

kitchen this time.

My husband has just about shut me out-can't really blame him for being sick of

me but wouldn't it be nice if he was supportive?

Thanks for listening and please forgive me if I post this on other sites-just

want to get a bunch of opinions/sympathy
