[lace-chat] Mould

[Maxine D]

My DH is an ex-plumber and a building inspector, and he has a little quote
which just about sums up some of the current debate

If you insulate, you must ventilate

We too have what is know locally as the leaky building syndrome, and some of
the culprits are developers who wanted the fastest return for the least outlay
on their investment, so shortcuts were taken, new products on the market which
the builders did not use appropriately, lack of qualified tradesmen and
inappropriate design e.g. a stucco type cladding on a Mediterranean type
design with no overhangs, and this in a wet, temperate climate... hello!

So there is a Kiwi version of what is obviously affecting the whole globe.

One year my oldest daughter was in a portable classroom at her 
school. It had indoor-outdoor carpeting throughout. When it was rainy 
or snowy, all the wet shoes and boots wetted the carpet - and the 
whole place was so moldy that I told them if her class was in it the 
next year, she would be going to a different school. All my kids and 
I are very allergic to mold - it's horrible to have it around all the 
time.
