    Mold happens when the cold outdoor air intersects with the warm air and it condenses. I would seal that space and insulate it so it becomes a conditioned space. Plus a dehumidifier would help.

      The dry heat from the wood stove is perfect, but you want to keep that dry heat inside. Crack one or two windows. Do not open all of the windows or any of them all the way. The heat from the wood stove will get rid of the moisture. You only need a cracked window near the wood stove to feed oxygen to the fire through the intake vents.

    I had some old mold in an unfinished attic. I used some spray on mold remover RMR86 Pro that I got at a big box store. It removed the mold and the stain on the bare wood. Kind of pricey but it worked.
    My house was built in 1965. I have had to had new dehumdifer in the basement during the warmer months. Be sure to get one that can run in colder temperatures. Try to get one you can put a hose on so it runs to empty outside all the time. The heat and air flow will help with the problem.
    I would also be checking that area where water came through the wall.
    Hang in there. Seems like it nevers ends but once you get things under control, having a house is like maintenance on a bus. Just something you have to do. Merry Christmas to you all.

    Isaac, it's not quite the end of the world with your house.
    Your house and property is beautiful and very nice. The problems you're having I know are somewhat overwhelming, but none are catastrophic yet. Just handle them one at a time. Get that back room dried in good (the way it should have been done when originally built) and get a couple good dehumidifiers.
    Keep on keeping on my friend.
    Your place is definitely worth the work. Just take it in stride and don't let it overwhelm you.

    You need to run fans in there and keep air flowing, and use white vinegar to clean with. It is non-toxic and is much cheaper and safer. Buy the big jugs and put it in a bug sprayer. It will smell for awhile but you need to spray down that whole area. I had to do this before. It works. Hope this helps. Merry Christmas to you, Jaylena and Ember. 🎄♥️🎁

    Isaac:
    Mold travels quickly because of this issue!
    If it was me, I would have kept the school bus no matter what because of what was occurring, and the bus would have allowed my family to be in a safe place away from the issues and tied into the sewer and water systems, while fixing the house.
    Now, that both of you have the Van as well as the camper fix both of them up to be livable first requirement.
    Then try to get everything out of all of the work you have done now I question if, it is just a cover-up of an entire house full of mold and be better to have a hazardous waste inspector come into check just the house your work on the other things the home is the most important thing at this point.
    Again if it was me and I had the bus like your family had I would have still been living in it until the house was all fixed.
    Isaac now my main focus would be right, getting temporary living conditions with the Van and the camper and making all content of the video on how to get rid of mold out of my home, once and for all, and music to your followers:
    A. Your followers help if they can and they would understand
    B. It is going to take the whole UA-cam community from both of your UA-cam channels and just ask for help with project cleanup.
    C. Find how much mold is just in the winter time just remember mold does grow more in the environment in which you live.
    The whole back area most likely needs to get replaced do wet areas and Winter is going to make it worse unless all of us help in some way.
    D. Isaac, I would like to help although due to my medical condition, I am very ill and on hospice care, I am unable to i just hope that my suggestion will help you and not be scared or afraid of asking for help.
    Sincerely!

    I lived in a cinderblock house once and it would condensate really bad in the winter and spring. We heated our house purely by wood stove. It greatly helped dry out the place. Treat your walls just like you would a basement... you need a vapor barrier. The numerous windows are also a plus so you can get fresh air in every now and then. I usually kept a window cracked while I had a fire going. It kept the house not too humid but not too dry. Take care!

    Isaac please get rid of that cat tree since you sprayed it down with that bleach spray. Cats are extremely sensitive to chemicals. They will get the residue on their paws and hair and lick it off. It’s very toxic and will make them sick. It’s just best to use natural cleaners like vinegar, which is great for removing mold. Bleach only bleaches the mold, it doesn’t kill it or remove it. Plus you’ve had a lot of great suggestions to prevent the moisture and mold buildup.

    When you purchased it, it should have been inspected by a home inspection company and they should have found the build on had no permits. Oregon is very strict when it comes to building on property. This is on the reality company and home inspection for nondisclosure. If the wood stove is not properly installed and catches your home on fire your insurance will not cover the loss. I'm so sorry this has happened to you. Home ownership is yes a constant upkeep and work in progress but worth it. However when your thrown someone else's disaster its really so unfair.

      I'm so sorry you're dealing with this! Check back through your copy of the home inspection. Did the inspector make any mention of anything unpermitted or unknown if permitted? Definitely use vinegar to kill mold. Toss the cat thing all together. Spray down all surfaces. Keep it dry - dehumidifier is a great idea. Killz is also a great idea if it's going to be a while before you're able to properly rehab this section including insulation, remediation of any mold hiding behind the walls / ceiling. Wear a mask too. Once spores go airborne, you can get very sick. But DEFINITELY check what is written in the home inspection. ❤

    @KsMeMoTn 8 місяців тому +2

    Definitely get a dehumidifier and set it about the middle of the room. Let it run full time in the beginning to get the moisture out, then you can set it to come on automatically as needed. Is that back wall (where all the windows are) below ground level? If so, you might need to clear the dirt away from the wall and seal it with some kind of foundation seal to keep the moisture out. Unfortunately, I would throw that cat tree out since it has mold on it. Not worth treating it and maybe having the mold spread. Good thing you guys noticed the mold early on.

  • @smidlowsoutdoors6966
    @smidlowsoutdoors6966 8 місяців тому +2

    Isaac, again great video. checked all of your comments and there are some good suggestions. Definitely want to keep it dry in the room and take care of the mold, don't want to beat you down on the chopping block but not a good thing to have on top of the wood stove. From the video there are a couple of issues that I can see. First thing is that room I'm going to guess is on the north side of the house this creates a very moist environment because it doesn't get a lot of sun to dry it out. The other contributing factor you have in that area is the water flow coming down the slope and water coming off the roof if the gutter isn't clean gathers in that area, so this keeps it very wet and humid. Things you could do to help with the moister is get some plastic that you can lay down and create a drainage flow area this will reduce the excess water from standing in that area and keep it from penetrating into the ground. Watch the flow of the water on the next rain, if there is no flow then create a 1 to 2 percent flow away from the house. When you put the plastic down you want to dig a small trench about 3 or 4 inches deep to bury the edges of the plastic to keep water from flowing under the plastic this should help to keep that area dry. Also make sure the side by the house is flowing away from the wall so build it a little higher. This should help through this wet season then you can do something more permanent in the dry season. This would be a fairly cost-effective fix. Home Depot should have rolls of plastic. Hope this helps. God bless your Family. Mike.

    Home inspection should of caught most of these problems. Call your homeowners insurance and maybe they will help pay for some of the costs. You pay a premium monthly, use it. Mold didn’t start just because of a hard rain, it’s been there, growing. Owning your own home is none stop maintenance. Also like others have mentioned invest in a large dehumidifier, remove the collection jug and hook a hose up to it and let it run none stop into a drain. I’m in cold country and run a dehumidifier in the summer months and a humidifier in the winter. You can also invest in a floor fan from a tractor supply, they run about $50. Set it on low and let it run continuously to circulate the air. If precious owner burned trash in that wood stove you really need to clean the chimney. Doesn’t look or sound like they did much maintenance on the property

    My dear Isaac, it's not safe to get that fire in the fireplace burning so high & hot. If there is creosote in the chimney or pipes, it could catch fire and possibly get out of control & burn your house down. And never leave a raging fire alone, as it needs attended to, to make sure the stovepipe doesn't catch fire. Stay warm & hope your projects all go well. 😊 ❤

    I have read a lot of the comments and most of them are band aid-fixes. Spraying chemicals on what you can see, what about what you can't see. Dehumidifier won't fix how the moisture is coming in. Mold will grow on anything porous. Best thing to do is remove everything, the cardboard, drywall, insulation then identify the moisture source, and eliminate it. Good luck.

    You are going to need to seal off those areas that are just cardboard. With a wet climate like the pacific northwest, if you dont close up those areas no matter what you do to dry it out, its going to stay damp in there and you will basically be trying to dry out the outside endlessly. Seal up those areas, insulate them with some fiberglass or rockwool batting and plywood sheathing. Also check over everything for leaks. A common spot is along the gutters and edge of roof overhand, especially if the gutters were full and the water sits up against the wood it can find its way in. Always look for the root cause of the issue, not just solutions to the symptoms. Then seal up any cracks that lead to the outside/let water in. The wood stove works great to dry out the air. You could also invest in a good dehumidifier that you can either drain the tray or run a hose outside to drain the water that it pulls out of the air. Being from the midwest, sometimes our basements can hold water in the air and its common to see people with rooms or basements that run a dehumidifier all the time.

  • @kellysinclair7804

    Also, check the outside to see if there is soil up against the house block - you could dig a little ditch around the walkway behind the hill wall to channel the water from the hillside down and around, or add a gutter. I could see the moisture entering in through the cement block when you opened the closet. The bigger picture may be to clear the soil - make a small French drain - wrap the add on back wall - run a dehumidifier that drains outside of the house so that you do not need to manage dumping the water. Also, any leaf litter on the roof or overhanging branches could be trimmed. I know it is a lot, but that room has some nice features to it. If you do it now, it will not need much management. Jerry rigging any house stuff never lasts for long. I love watching you guys!

    If you have a sprayer hand pump you can make a solution to spray on the walls/ cabinet and use to rinse. ( Jug with hose sprayer) a fan helps ( stove none electric can too). Dehumidifier ( as others suggest). A bucket with cat litter or/ plain charcoal/ even dried use coffee grounds and some rocks layer along with a cloth in the center support by a wire( like a wick). works The dri ease can make you/ animals sick if used in small to med small areas and can be poisonous to children/ animals.

    Issac, We have the same problems. We bought an old mobile, on acreage, about 4 acres, it has an addition like that as well. When it was built, it was never properly attached to the house, so now the roofline leaks. We were hoping to re-do the roof, and walls, and fix it up, but the floor is bad as well. So the whole thing eventually has to come down. Only reason, we bought it was because we were able to pay ash for it. it used to be a horse farm. has barns, sheds everywhere, and nice chicken coops. So it works for us, but sadly we don't have the youth and energy you both have. We are 74 and 75. So slow progress, but we will get there. But I know you are Jaylena will be capable of doing almost anything. You both work so well together. So you will get this!!! Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

We need a new roof too. It's never ending. We could have put another mobile on the property, but used ones are so expensive, and they have the same problems. When they built them, they never set the windows in properly, and that's where most of the problems come in. At least that's what we have found. Good luck in your reno's, I know you can do it.

    Like others are saying Isaac, when the area isn’t sealed up with insulation and is exposed to cold air like that, you are gonna get mold. I am a home owner to an old house that I have owned 3 years now and I find every few months another issue that needs tended to with cracks and such. Best thing to do is seal that room up best as you can and insulate it. If you can heat it minimally that will help and run a dehumidifier. They also sell stuff called ‘damp rid’ if you don’t want to add to the expense of running a dehumidifier. But then again you are buying the damp rid. They also sell a version of it in some Dollar Stores.

    drying it out is a good idea, cleaning vinegar will kill the mold for now spraying down the cat tree, wiping the walls, in the summer open the wall that is connected to the house and see how much mold is there if it grew that fast its probably a lot. there is a mold killer at HD, you may have to literally replace all the insulation and stucco walls. get a fan in that room to keep the air circulating and blowing outside, and finish the ceiling when you can, don't give up there is so much potential there...mold in the P.N.W. is a common thing ass there is so much moisture in the air.. better insulation for sure....
