Guest guest Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 wow-good story! I had mold in the back of my kitchen cabinets last year so I can relate! Glad to hear problem solved. And I hear you re the will to live-mold just sucks it right out of me too. Awful. > > Well, remember I asked how to seal the wall against dryer sheet fumes on the wall? I used plywood. I really should have worn a mask when I took off the foil in order to seal the washer (in case I had mold in back of the kitchen cabinets). I got REAL whacked & was struggling hard to maintain my will to live for the rest of the day - & belief that I'm not going to die.Thank goodness a winter of foil on the wall didn't cause mold. Yesterday I had the kitchen cabinets pulled out & was prepared for mold. The contractor came walking out of the kitchen saying he might throw up & I should put my mask on & see this. Yeah right. Well it wasn't anything you're expecting. From outside the back door I peered across the living room into the kitchen. The area under the cabinet he removed had a 2 inch high mound of dogfood, at least 5 " X 18 " , & dead mice. He shoveled & sanded got steel wool, tons of caulk & put on another layer of plywood on the walls & floor. It's not my housekeeping folks I just bought it Oct & lived in my vehicle until Dec & I don't have any pets. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 My face (upper cheeks) was swollen & burning & I thought it was just everything a house is built with plus I'm not outgassing & hermetically sealing things as vigouroudly as when I lived in my vehicle. It's not as in-your-face in a house. But I should be more careful anyway. My nose is starting to clear up now. > > Well, remember I asked how to seal the wall against dryer sheet fumes on the wall?
