Update: ...The Mold

So the verdict is in and after a lengthy cleaning session by a woman named Velma, our place should be mold free! She sounded like she new what she was talking about when it came to mold. She said that Utahn's are all going to have mold problems in the older homes because they didn't ventilate properly. I don't know if thats true but she cleaned up our place, there wasn't any mold that I could see after she left and she pronounced vinegar, winegar... it was pretty funny I'm pretty sure she was from some Slovic country...

and the mold...

Oh my this is gross...

Update: Post Move Madness...

Ok so it isn't so much of an update as it is I need help with this mold. Does anyone know of a company that can come out and test to see if there are mold problems? A disaster clean up crew? Health Department? Anyone?

Post move madness... literally...

So we got moved into our new place on Friday and are so happy to be out of the "compound". Except now we find ourselves experiencing a new kind of dilemma... Mold... Has anyone had any experience with mold in their homes? We have a utility closet in the basement that has a clogged drain with a pool surrounding the drain and mold growing in the pool. Our landlord is telling me that all homes have mold in them but mold like this? I can understand mold from your bathroom like mildew or something similar or even the mold on the bread in your kitchen. But mold growing in your basement? We decided that we'd get a mold detection kit and see what the results were. Once we wait 48 hours I'll post some pictures of the mold by then we should have something growing on the little peetree dish... (spelling on peetree?)
