    Marc I'm in Duval county. A crack home inspector would be ideal for your needs and would be far more beneficial than an internet forum. I'd ask him to just look at the attic and tell you everything he can then start with your list of questions. I hesitate to recommend one because there's so many HIs out there that would be a complete waste of your money. Like houses, some are good and others are not. The good ones are few and hard to identify. Any chance you happen to be between Duval and Flagler Counties? Marc

    I'm not sure of what the white stuff is on the duct work. It looks like the same stuff that is on the wood. I get a some outside debris from the ridge vents. Probably from using the blower

    ? I don't believe him.

    I like the idea of covering it up but I'm not sure about using cellulose because of the chemicals that are in it. The few insulating companies I spoken with here in Florida say FG. Is cellulose the way to go?

    I access my attic space at least once a month. I ran security camera cable and spent more time in the attic during the summer. In addition I had a problem with rats so I was in and out quite a bit. When I put the Christmas stuff back in the attic in January I notice something didn't look right so I been back in several times since then. I agree the roof deck is dry and I haven't notice or smelled any dampess.

    I will post more Photos tomorrow. I had others but they didn't turn out very well

    I'd only sprayed Tilex on picture number three and it didn't do anything. I have other boards that look like the "old form board" you're referring to. The others don't have the stains on it like something was spilled. I thought it was odd the way it looked and that was the reason I posted it. I started to box the soffits in over the summer so it has been a little over three months. I can't relate it to be caused by anything else.

    Thanks for the recommended reading. My plan is to reinsulate once I get this squared away and have the old stuff taken out anyway. Would you recommend bringing in a Mold Remediator or Home Inspector to evaluate my attic?

    I posted this on another forum but I didn't get much of a response, so I'm hoping some of the pro's can help me or point me in the right direction. On some of the rafters in my attic i have a white grainy substance on them. It started to happen after I boxed in my soffits about three months ago. I think the cause was that I didn't use large enough vents to allow enough air to vent back into the attic. A couple of days ago I taken down the plywood that I used to box in the soffits and allowed normal air flow back in. I did spray some of the boards with Tilex and them some Concrobium for mold and nothing happen. [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img]
