Need your assistance please...

As one of the HADD volunteers that answers many of the complaints

homeowners submit on our site I am seeing an increasing amount that

include mold. I am knowledgable in about every aspect of construction

defects BUT mold and often refer mold complaints to Barbara (thanks

Barbara for helping me!). I have just received an email from a local

homeowner (Phoenix, AZ) that I have kept in contact with over time

who is in the process of building a house - not custom but through

one of the builders - and in the framing stage he has discovered mold

on the wood. He told the super about the discovery who told him they

would remove the infested ones and replace with new 2x4's. When the

delivered the new wood these were also covered with " black

and grey mold with jet black splotches of spores here and there " .

My suggestion to him is to check his contract and look to opt out of

it while he can as it is my belief that the problems he will

encounter will only escalate and get worse. I am, however, looking

for any help I can get from the group in validating my belief and

suggestions anyone may have for this person.

I thank everyone for the help and time in reading and responding to

this. Thanks again Barbara - hope all is well with you and your

family.
