Remediation - what do I do now?

My bedrooms are well sealed off & smell moldy- especially the Master. It hasn't

rained since the beginning of July & before that a sprinkle in June. It's bone

dry & the bedroom was so bad today that the contractor was dizzy in about 30

seconds. He checked the attic insulation for mold - nothing. The crawl has no

insulation but spots of white mold ? & green on the ceiling, if that's what you

call it- the bottom of the subfloor I guess it is. The outside of the house is

moldy. There is nothing but 1/4 sheets of hardwood (unfinished) on the outside

of the house. Instead of plywood & then siding it just has that wood. The bottom

3 feet of that wood is moldy to the other side. When you pry that off there's no

housewrap - just the insulation which, BTW, has no mold on it. (Not that I would

keep it). The floors are plywood, a layer of tar paper & more plywood. That's

what sits on the joists - & no insulation - thank goodness. Could that tar paper

have caused the mold ? I guess the thing to do is remove all the flooring, the

moldy outside wood, the walls to the studs. Is there any hope ? I just can't go

back to being homelessness with severe MCS.
