Re: Please Eplain... Carl G

[Guest guest]

thank you so much for your reply. We had Carl Grimes come and take a look

at the crawl space and rather than me try to explain what was going on down

there (its late and Im getting sleepy) hopefully he'll see this post and better

explain what was going on down there.

I can tell you this, the mold on the a/c coils was more than likely the main

reason why I was getting sick and the spores that it's released into the house

are the reason why Im still not feeling well. My symptoms vary from day to day,

today for whatever reasons I felt exceptionally well but it was cloudy here all

day and never got above 85 its when the sun is shinning and it gets in the 90

degree range that I really get slammed with brain fog and an extremely stiff

neck.

I thought allot about being sensitive to the heat but I go to the gym almost on

a daily, when Im finished working out I hit the sauna for 15 minutes and the

heat doesn't effect me in the least so I think its safe to say that Im not

hypersensitive to heat.

I apologize if Im not making much sense, like I said its late and Im getting

extremely sleepy.

Goodnight

Tug, this is the key to me, because I had same thing in my house, when you say:

'when sun is shining and it is hot'. That was case with my house, because sun

is hitting your roof in summer and attic gets very hot and that hot air seeps

down into house through wall cavities taking 'whatever' with it, coming in to

air space through gaps in wall and floor , outlet holes, in kitchen, maybe

through gaps between wall and pipes, maybe more holes in walls and ceiling in

kitchen due to everything that needs to be installed there: plumbing or there is

contamination back there from old plumbing leak that is forced out into interior

air from hot air coming down from attic...I bet. I've been round and round

about this in my house and steps I take based on that theory work. Seal up any

holes you have in kitchen, including windows and around pipes, ceiling light,

caulk them all up and see if air seems better to you. That's what I would do.

If anyone doubts the effects of hot attic on house, you haven't been to my house

on an overcast day and then return on a sunny hot day. There is no mistaking

it. See links I am sending to including this one that I posted before:
