Lesson Learned

What happens when you don't have a dryer vented to the outside of your house? The dryer causes humidity, and the humidity causes MOLD. Think about the outside of a loaf of bread that got hidden in you cabinet for couple months looking mold. You know, the bluish green mold that grows in circular patterns. This is the kind of mold I discovered on the bottom side of our lower shelves in our storage room while I was down there organizing our stuff. NOT OKAY, HUH?! Here is a little break down of what we had to do to take car of our problem.

FIRST, Brandon tackled the cause of the problem by drawing up these plans...

to build this...

finally allowing our dryer to vent to the outside of our house.

THEN, I took all of of lower shelves outside and gave them a good bath of bleach, let them dry in the sun, and then covered them up in a thick coat of KILLZ...

FINALLY, we made an all important purchase...

Yep, our very own dehumidifier. Why oh why, did we not buy one of these in the first place?!
