There is always an upside

January 31st, 2009 at 11:24 pm

I have to keep telling myself this.

On Monday a company will be coming over to get rid of all the mold. They won't be fixing the link, just getting rid of the mold. In order to do this they have to isolate the entire kitchen and dining room. So we have to move EVERYTHING in the kitchen and dining room out.

Everything.

The table, chairs, hutch, pictures, the fish tank, ALL the dishes and cooking supplies, the food in the pantry and the fridge. All of it has to be moved by Monday.

The food in the fridge is obviously going to go bad so I will remove that Monday just before they come. I don't want to throw it out so I will look into homeless shelters I can give it to.

My brother and I will most likely not be staying here during the process of decontamination (4 or 5 days). He will most likely stay at my boyfriend's parent's house while I stay at my Grandma's. We can't stay together due to lack of space at my Grandma's and my boyfriend's parent's will not let me stay with them.

Once they get rid of the mold, the plumbers will come back and fix the leak. Then the wall has to be patched up.

This is such a nightmare. I have homework to do this weekend and I have to move everything from one part of the house to another.

There is one upside: decluttering. In addition to the dozen or so bags and boxes I have given to Goodwill the past month from just moving, I will be giving them another half dozen boxes and bags of junk I just don't need but never knew I had. Goodwill has also received a twin mattress, box spring, and frame from us.

The cats are having a field day with everything being moved around.

    what kind of mould IS that? is it not just normal shower mould that you can spray bleach on and be done with it?

    I am not sure what kind of mold it is, and I don't think they know for sure either. It is a grayish-greenish color but there is very little of it showing on the wall. From what the guy said it doesn't sound like it could hurt us but because there is most likely mold under the carpet they need to make sure when they open up the carpet they do it so that the mold cannot become airborne. I think that is what he said. The water damage is on the wall right where it connects to the carpet and that is where the pipe is located. So there is mostly likely damage done to the flooring underneath the carpet.

    Honestly I am so confused.
