Mold mold and more mold

we took some pictures of the mold to let you all in on the fun!





If you know any permanent ways to get rid of it until winter is over let me know it is behind everything I look!




Cheyane got two more teeth and LOVES oatmeal but it becomes a disaster! Here are some cute photo's!









I got my bike fixed and can't wait to take the girls on a bike ride I want to ride to work tomorrow but it is like 3 miles away so hopefully I can make it pulling the girls along too!

Those pictures are so gross. The mold is gross also. lol. I am not sure what you do, do you just clean with bleach. Not sure!

Your land lord is required to tear the drywall out and fix the problem. It's not safe for you guys to be living there with mold all over the walls.

I agree your landlord needs to fix it asap. It's not a safe place to stay with mold like that, the darker the mold the worse it is for you. the only way to get rid of it is to replace the drywall and have someone like ARS come in a treat it for mold. You guys can get really sick from living with it! I would clean it off and spray it with lysol disinfectant spray to kill as much of it as you can, and make sure no furniture is touching the walls so it can dry out.

Wow, you weren't kiddn' about the mold problem! Scary stuff. I have no idea what you do, but I just know it's really bad for respitory problems and other things. How can you take the girls to work? I can't wait to use my bike too, except Eliza's a little floppy still :)

the problem is it isn't drywall it is cement.

Everyone is right, you need to find a new place. So many things can happen with Mold, the sicknesses you guys can get and the long term affect is really really bad. I use to work for a company that dealt with mold and I'm telling you that stuff is really scary, get out while you can...There are some cute condo's up by me :)

lol well the mold is on the drywall because of the moisture from the concrete? so the only way to get rid of the mold that is there is to replace the drywall and treat the concrete underneath it for mold. you guys should probably move before you all get really sick!

that is really yucky.
moving again so soon isn't ideal but you shouldn't live with mold, especially with your little girls.
take lots of pictures and make you land lord let you out of your contract. its their problem, it shouldn't be yours.

Hi Symony! Those oatmeal pics are hilarious! You are indeed a proud mama of your darling little girls - and my great nieces!

The mold can be scrubbed off with bleach and temporarily sealed with BIN primer, but the landlord needs to deal with it properly. I would inform a local tenant association about the problem (if you have them down there - they protect your rights). The mold is probably the reason you all have been sick for the past couple of months and your Dr. could attest to that, I'm sure. A move would be a healthy option. Maybe the landlord could cover the expenses and inconvenience...and/or pay for temporary lodgings while the repairs are being done. Document everything just to cover your ass! Goodluck! S.

Your little girl is so adorable. As for the mold.. well I used Tilex. It took it away and never came back. Just don't leave it on too long it takes the paint off :)
