Mold

So my wife and discovered we have some mold in our down stairs rec room.  We got rid of an old couch and found the baseboard had some mold on it.  We moved some other furniture and found a bit more.  Ugh… this sucks so much.  We have a mold guy coming in tomorrow to check it out but we pretty much know what he’s going to say.  We just need the details of how bad and how much $$$.

Anyone else have to deal with mold in the home at one point or another?  What pains me is that as soon as you say “mold” it can make others think “what kind of house/shack do you live in”.  The think is, we live in a very nice house.  I’m quite proud of the house we have and how we’re making renovations to make it our own.  We’re actually putting down new hardwood floors this summer.  But even the nicest house can have secrets behind it’s walls.  The one thing that I tell my friends that buy homes is that “when you buy a house, you’re buying someone else’s problems” and I 100% believe that.

I’m not looking forward to all this.  I wish I could just jump forward in time to when it’s all over.  And no, that’s not my house in the photo.  Good god, how can anyone ignore a problem like that. o_O
