Just checked....serious sale markdown..... https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss ... rior+bidet I may stock up...maybe even go front and rear.

Exactly. I've been wanting a Washlet for several years but just couldn't go for the $400 butt spritzer. There's a lot of sales pitches for the Washlet touting why one wants warm water and soothing caresses as they power wash their anus, but so far, tap water temps are fine. $39 was some sort of Prime Special Sale thing. They're usually around $50. There's a $79 model for "front and rear" should the Missus determine she also wants to be spray cleaned. Superior Bidet. Can't say enough good things about it. And, it's illegal and a health/life safety hazard. It's got everything.

I thought so, just wanted to be sure. It's mine. Installed it yesterday. Works great. $39 at Amazon.

There's no way this isn't a cross connection, right? It's a bidet add on. Click to Enlarge 1716.24 KB

Lindemann will can it.

No, it's not a continuous liner. Cinders get caught in the gaps between the pieces of tile. Or maybe not. Hard to tell without a pic.

Occasionally being an idiot is part of the job description.

I found the "report" unreadable, with tense being just one of the problems.

That's my first take. There's not enough information.

Sounds interesting, and sleep inducing..... There's also the simple fact of States seeing revenue streams from licensing.

Woof. Nothing immediate. It could be a one time deal and the reaction is over, or it can mean continued messing around and priming everything. I'd have to test a bunch of areas with primer and paint to see what was going on. Incompatible paints can get complicated. Or not. Can't know without test areas or a very complete history of specific paints so I could go to my paint guy for advice.

Now we're on the right track...obscene possibilities...

Nothing that's been promoted so far. We don't have regulation because no one can decide on reality. This is a 10 year old piece....showing how stupid it's been, and how stupid it may continue to be. https://ag.purdue.edu/extension/eden/Mo ... lation.pdf My hope is science will win. It may not. If not, we're all screwed.

Science works pretty good most of the time. When substantial and credible science tells me mold is the cause of all health effects, then I change my opinion. Until then, I tend to not believe people flogging their beliefs as facts, especially when their beliefs are the basis of their for profit enterprise. For the folks worrying about 3 unrelated incidents thinking it's about mold.....maybe it is. But, the stories are emotion and sensation based, not science based. They're exactly the sort of circumstantial events used to justify mold hysteria. I've gone over this stuff endlessly with a customer and friend who happens to be the lead allergenist and researcher at Lurie Children's Hospital, a highly respecte medical institution. Mold is just one thing in a panoply of possibilities that effect health. Many millions of dollars has been invested, and continues to be invested, in figuring out mold health effects. So far, more is not known than is known. We know it doesn't make most folks hair fall out. We know it doesn't do a tenth of the things claimed by mold geeks. There is also always going to be one or two doctors that insist mold is the cause of all problems. If you believe that, fine. There's also diet gurus with something to tell you. Stick with science. Mold is largely a matter of faith right now. When it becomes accepted science fact, I'll change my mind.

For sure write it. Roofing is a weak link technology; valleys are one of the main weak links. Always write a funky valley. The rest of the valley looks mangled and patched too.

Yeah, that's about right. Not nice to work with. I really like it's performance, but getting it installed sucks.

I had a link to an article about this, but can't find it...too many links. There are a number of respected economists that have written on the topic; the State creating licenses to fill in budget voids. I'm not sure *it* will get completely stupid; it might remain largely stupid. I hope to be retired soon and not have to think about this shit anymore. I am soooo tired of talking about mold.

NY is just seeing a revenue stream thru licensing, just like most licensing acts nowadays.

That's how it starts. Folks have been convinced it's something one does when they buy a house. Realtors don't know anything, and in their never ending effort to appear knowledgeable, recommend it because their home office tells them to recommend it because their insurance agent tells them to recommend it because their legal counsel tells them to recommend it and they don't know why. I'll tell you why. It's because of some completely stupid lawsuit in Texas that convinced everyone that they might be held liable for hundreds of thousands of dollars if they don't disclose mold. We all got to read about it. What we didn't get to read about is the judgment was overturned on appeal, the judge indicated in his opinion the original jurors were morons and that the decision was baseless, and the whole thing was reduced to lawyers fees. If there's one thing I know for sure, it's you test for mold, you find mold, and the tester has a wall of numbers indicating it's a grave threat. It's bullshit. If you want to be a certified mold tester, it costs about $185 and you sit through a 3 hour Power Point presentation, take a test designed for mouth breathers, and they give you a little badge and certificate to hang on the wall, and now you can act like you know something. From everything you've told us, I'd say screw the moron mold guys. You had a water issue. Mold grew because of it. Do what Kibbel said and make sure there's no lingering moisture issue. If not, stop worrying about it.

What Raymond said. I've done "testing" with a couple of the mold mopes around here on my own house; it was a set up job. I wanted to see the foolishness first hand. I specifically cleaned and made the place about as pristine as I possibly could and the "tests" came back with "alarming levels" of mold. When I asked them what studies they referenced to yardstick my house, they didn't have any. Another company referenced studies performed by the lab that does mold training seminars. IOW, nothing I'd consider worthwhile. Everyone's got it, everyone will continue to have it, and unless you have a genetic predisposition for extreme mold sensitivities, I'd hire a cleaning service before I'd waste money on a bunch of morons tearing my house up. And until Marc comes up with a medical or related professional analysis about why Stachy is so much worse than any other mold, I think he's nuts too. Getting health and hygiene advice from a bunch of home inspectors and mold remediation mopes is misguided. If your doctor or care giver says it's important, then it's important. Until then, try to pay attention to science, not what the mold crowd is selling you. When the fact change, I'll change my opinion, but right now, the facts say it's largely a blown out of proportion fools errand.

Marc, upon what are you basing your recommendation?

What Bruce said. If your remediation company isn't working overtime to inspect, analyze, and inform you of moisture issues, they're worthless and you should avoid them. After the moisture problem is corrected, then, and only then, should you remove the mold. My professional opinion is the entire mold abatement *industry* is chock full of complete morons playing on the ignorance of otherwise intelligent people that have been misinformed in all sorts of ways about the realities of mold. Your concern with the type and spore counts tells me you are misinformed and your mold remediation goofballs are playing on it. Go here, read up, and then think this thing over. If you want to go with the "mold is gold" approach, fine with me. If you want to delve into this thing intelligently, read the brief article, follow the links and read those, and then think about your mold issue.
