Ding, dong, the mold is dead!

August 25, 2011

Over the past week, Cathe has focused on killing the mold in the dead space behind the kitchen sink wall.  The catch was she could only cut out a portion of the dry wall since cabinets would be inserted into the wall.  So...she cut a rectangular opening 10 inches wide by 36 inches long/high.  That's not very big.

Good news, all the mold was removed via a good hand-scrubbing of 5 parts water, 1 part bleach.  Once dry, that was followed up by two coats of mold-resistant paint (whatever the Sherwin-Williams guy told her to buy)...by the way, she carried the gallon of paint in her backpack and walked all the way from SODO to the condo (about a mile). This hoofing element may prove to be the most humorous part of the entire experience.  Great memories!
