Winter storms coupled with a year-long quarantine can make you so miserable, it is easy for you to assume the worst in life. Maybe after being cooped up with your spouse working at home, you are now struggling in your marriage. That’s the Too Much Togetherness Syndrome.
You know you have TMTS when your imagination runs wild on a daily basis as you contemplate what Life would be like without the ol’ ball and chain.
Please enjoy my words of wisdom by watching my Paw'dcast below.
Once the veterinarian said MOLD I went into action by calling in a duct cleaning company to scour our air handlers and ducts. They also released live bacteria that would eat the mold. This was a very expensive process and it took all day for our home vents to be disinfected, but there was no choice.
It didn’t occur to me to have our home rechecked until the summer of 2015 when Dori and Peaches both came down with “colds from hell.” I too was suffering from the effect of mold. Turns out I’m highly allergic to it. In 2012 I was continually foggy-brained, and aching in every joint. I wanted to sleep all the time, which is highly unlike me.
The foggy-brained part is what kept me from recognizing my symptoms again in
2015. It took Dori giving an eerily familiar cough that reminded me of Cookie
that had me running the girls to the vet, and calling in the same company as in
2012 to check my air handlers.
The mold was back, and this time it was Terminator Mold. It was back, it was badder, and hell bent on destroying everyone in the house. But instead of
cleaning like they did in 2012, this time the crew was more investigative
as to WHY we had mold. This time they discovered the duct tape around the mains had
softened and pulled apart, allowing attic debris into the blowers (I always
wondered why I had so damn much dust). They also found the seams were allowing
cold air to seep out, creating dampness.
Mold thrives on Darkness, Warmth,
Oxygen, and Moisture.
It appears we had won the Mold
Lottery.
Filters are changed every month. We
thought they were dirty. We didn't realize the dirt was mold.
Then the mains had to be resealed
using duct butter that hardened like plastic.
Don't think mold can't happen to you. Mold is more rampant than I ever
believed possible. Our home was 7 years old when we had mold in 2012. I read
that mold is more prevalent in newer homes due to construction rush. Duct tape
isn't good enough to seal your air handlers. Make sure its duct butter, and
before you buy, have your home inspected.

Have you ever had mold
in your home? Have you ever had your home inspected?

I don't think this is what they mean.... Do yoo?
