What would you do if you came home from work and your bathroom looked liked this?

Mold-1
BG-2 (and counting)

Whee

Bathroom before BG:





Bathroom after BG: EEK!








Tomorrow I break out the hazmat suit and real mask and the rest of the walls are coming down.

So how'd you find out there was mold? Could you see it or did you have to have a test done on it?
When I ripped the shower door off, I kinda had an idea...plus the room next to it smelled odd. I think they masked the odor with something.
Also there was loose grout so I was going to have to fix some tiles, and I pulled just a few off and sure enough, my worst nightmare came true..Sadwalk

But the good thing is we found it right away before we did all the painting and stuff and moved completely in.
My fiance's DD is 16 and no way I want a 16yr old living in here with that amount of mold.


I guess some inspectors do mold testing with a meter...not the one we used, ya live and learn. Rookie mistake...we now know better. Lesson learned the hard way.

It will be beautiful when you are done and that feeling of not only accomplishment but knowing you did all that with your own hands...will make it even cooler. nod

oh gosh, now I'm wondering if I have mold hiding in my bathroom. It doesn't smell funky but if it's hiding how would I know? I'm working on my house downstairs first and the bathroom is upstairs so I think I won't go looking for anything any time soon Coverlaugh

sorry this happened, but in the end, you still got a nice house with a killer den (and yard) and you'll have a great new, updated bathroom. Then, you can come pull my tiles off and knock my walls out....since you'll be all experienced and everything Big Grin
