The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Found out there is more mold in this house than anticipated. It makes me cough deep down in my lungs. Gonna have to start in the attic with a bleach mixture and a long handled brush and get rid of it soon before it starts to warm up. Not looking forward to it. Each room is going to have to be wiped down. Walls, ceilings and floors. Every piece of furniture will have to be cleaned.

Not sure what house you're in... But mold is no fun. Vinegar does a better job destroying mold than bleach. Cleaning vinegar can be pretty strong stuff. Do some research...

Wood can be treated with Concrobium Mold Control. MSDS says it's TSP and Sodium Carbonate. I believe those two ingredients impregnate the wood and prevent regrowth.

Papers, photos, books, may have to be discarded. Some can be treated with Ozone generators if valuable. Don't breath the ozone, or let plants/kids/pets get into a treated space. It is a strong oxidizer, and breaks down A LOT of stuff. Again, research...

Good luck. Mold makes me shudder. I have severe mold allergies, so it's well beyond a 'yuk' factor for me!

Thanks so much for that. I'll use vinegar on your recommendation. It will irritate my lungs less I'm sure. And I am miserable until I get that attic mold free. The ceilings are slat and those spores just filter down into the living space.
 
Oh, Come one now. Shear pin is the cheapest part in the whole setup, by design!
Yes… and they were created by Murphy.

1. They will always shear when it’s most inconvenient.

2. They will shear when it’s getting dark or is fully dark out. The light will always be poor when a shear pin shears.

3. They will shear when the weather is the most inclementest. (super cold out, wind is whipping. Etc)

4. They will shear for the flimsiest small branch or for no real reason at all. Usually because they just want to.

Granted. I have learned my lesson and always have extras on hand.
I’m starting a new band: The Fuckin Shear Pins.
 
Good morning.

Had my whole day planned until I realized it was a holiday and three of the things I wanted to do would be closed because of it.

Just to give you an idea, there are 7 china hutches...all full. There are 4 dining room tables. 35 straight-backed chairs. This is not a huge house but it is packed...at its all got a thin layer of mold on it.

Don't get me started on the garage, basement and the barn. Good thing is, those don't affect me directly and will be delt with over the summer months with a pick truck, trailer, and trips to the landfill.

Hopefully the mold is not the really bad types. Fingers crossed.

Hopefully dealing with all of the stuff will commence.
