Passing lane, people who call it a fast lane are part of the problem.
You know stuffs really gone downhill when you have to convince a computer that you’re not a robot.
Is his condo soaked from extinguishing the fire? If so, he has bigger issues. If not, why is he concerned about mold? If he flies away on vacation, does he have someone go start his car everyday and run the AC so he doesn’t get mold in the car?

Quick Google search says RMR 141 is an antimicrobial, RMR 86 is not.

Guess what you have is for non porous substrates and shouldn’t be used on your ceiling.

Agree not to use bleach (especially diluted). Bleach is 90% water. Water/moisture is what’s causing the mold to colonize in that area. Putting bleach (basically water) on wood or drywall will remove it on the surface, but seep into the substrate…..creating more mold. Glass or tile, go ahead and wipe it off, not your ceiling though. Wouldn’t use peroxide either. Mold should be removed by an anti-microbial, which you can get from any big box store. Just know it will come back without fixing the ventilation problem, as others have stated.

My advice, add a vent and use it. Slap some Kilz on it and repaint. It doesn’t look too bad. If you or anyone in your family has a severe mold allergy, then I’d cut the area out and patch. Good luck and hope this helps!

Negative. Don’t believe the HGTV house flipper shows. Your house is not regulated. AHERA is for schools and state buildings. Also regulated are commercial buildings or residential greater than a 4-plex, or demolition/renovation “Projects” (multiple buildings with the same funding source….usually federally funded).

Test if you want piece of mind, but as others have said, wear a respirator/wet/scrape or remove/throw in trash or bring to landfill. Doesn’t have to be declared ACM.
Where is he located/looking to work? What’s his skill set?

Distal. Actually happened about 4 months ago and ignorantly I didn’t get it checked out until yesterday. He did say surgery may no longer be an option because I waited so long, but we’ll know more after the MRI I suppose.

Interested in responses. Saw an ortho yesterday for the same thing. Going on a Mexico dove hunting trip next week so I really just wanted a cortisone shot and deal with it when I get back. He did an ultrasound and was pretty sure it wasn’t ruptured so he gave me the shot. Doing an MRI when I get back, but thinking there’s a tear.

Commercial Auto Insurance

Are there any options outside of Progressive that write commercial auto insurance policies in Louisiana?
Not grossest, but in an abandoned mine field in Iraq. First day guarding a huge ammo dump. Walked around a mound for cover with a chop block (seat) under my arm ready to do my business. Sat down facing the way I walked in and saw toe poppers scattered all around me including the path I walked in on. Needless to say I didn’t have to go anymore. Slowest I’ve ever walked 50 feet trying to get out of there trying to step on every exact footprint I came in on.

I have all you could want for free….in St Tammany though.
As soon as they feather out and/or weather doesn’t dip too low at night. Not an exact time. Last year mine went out in 6 weeks. This year they went out in 29 days.

Also agree with the other poster, if constantly chirping, they’re lacking something. Heat, food, water, etc.

Terrarium seems like a good idea, thanks!
I’ve been looking for ideas online without much luck, but have heard mentioning about plate/tempered. I honestly do not know. Is there a way to tell with an untrained eye?
