Good grief, everyone is sleeping in except Robbie and me. I am going to connect myself to that coffee pot drain pipe for starters this morning. Then I'll stop by the Church of Moosie to confess my sin of eating way too many Reeses Miniatures yesterday.
Who will help me finish these off?

ah, that's one thing i could overdose on, Richard! not everyone's asleep.
thanks for opening, Robbie.
after wrestling with the mold company, i finally have a report. one estimate was $5K, the more professional acting company wants $7K, but after how unpleasant they were about the lateness of the report and their not taking lab samples after telling me that's what the fee was to cover, i couldn't in good conscience recommend that anyone else do business with them. very discouraging. i'd had anecdotal evidence that the mold remediation business was one where "buyer beware" rules; guess i know for sure, now.

Mold remediation and asbestos abatement are certain "gotcha" businesses. Would a company on Angie's List be more trusting? If I had my way a healthy spraying of water and chlorine bleach would fix it.

interestingly, the MSDS this $7K company provides for its disinfectant, says it's 2-propanol (which is isopropanol, basic rubbing alcohol.) physical removal of visible residue will be necessary to satisfy future homeowner, so a spray won't do it, sadly.... both these guys were on ServiceMaster roster, and the $7K company has lots of credentials -- NAHB, for example. just an idiot running it, is all.
at least, for asbestos abatement, there are now mandatory training requirements and inspection standards, and state certification requirements for workers. not so, for mold, at least not yet.
