Guest guest Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 The contaminated downstairs HVAC was ripped out and replaced (at great expense, now no credit left, and no money). Now I am slowly trying to replace contaminated carpeting and fabric furnishings. The master bedroom carpeting needs to be replaced with wood, which will probably be brazilian cherry glued down, and then finished (i should find a low VOC wood finish). The carpeting only had contamination from the blowing HVAC. The only growth on the carpeting was on the edges of it where the holes were in the floor for the HVAC ducting. This house is over a well-ventilated crawl space - stanchions with lattice panels in between. Everyone who goes under there to work comments how dry it is under there. The subfloor is OSB. Sleeping in that room makes me sick-muscle spasms that don't go away (high MMP9, I suspect), stuffy nose, eventual sinus trouble, fatigue. Right now, the only way I can get better is by NOT sleeping in there. Do I consider putting down plywood subfloor and ripping out the OSB? After all, when glueing down a wood floor, I am not really gonna have a second shot at this!! If this helps, I have " double mold gene " according to Shoemaker's work, so detoxing mycotoxins and endotoxins probably is not my forte!! Thanks all, Jolly Ave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
