The inspector guys are not the only ones that run into scarry things in a basement. This is a lot grosser than anything I have growing in my refrid.-
Let's play a game of name that MOLD- I am thinking "Howie" b/c now we have to ask ourselves "DEAL or NO DEAL"
That's a nice one. I have seen whole basements like that. A shame that there are so many homes full of mold
Yuck -- I think that would scare away almost any buyer...forget the name.
HOWIE HAHAHAHA that is priceless.
That is scary icky . . . science project :)
I think I would have to taste it first to decide if it was a deal breaker...
ok...not! LOL!
Ron, buddy, friend, pal, send me you addy and I will send you a sample. just kidding
Larry- on the repo-s I usually take an allergy pill a half hour before touring and carry a dust mask just in case. Unlike Ron, I don't have to use all my five senses, although this did not have a noticeable smell (not that I got very close)
The picture doesn't show how thick that fuzzy stuff is- I am going to surf a bit tonight and see if I can find a write up on something similar (disclaimer, I am not a mold expert, I am not identifying this as mold, I am using the term mold in a generic sense)
The rest of you- what are you doing up so late looking at gross pictures on the web!!- be good cw
As this photo loaded, I could feel my chest tightening and I had---to----take-----shor--ter----breaths! WHEW!!!! This stuff scares me worse than bugs or snakes or other creepy crawly stuff!
Marantino- I wasn't scared, but then I run pretty fast for an old gal! (especially around the creepy crawly stuff) I normally don't do basements unless I know the client is making an offer. That's a job for the inspector types. cw
That's gross!!!!! Where in the world did you find that! Did the inspector tell you what type of mold it is?
Kay- it did not get to an inspector, it killed the deal all on its own. Client made an offer on another property that met his needs.
Kevin, long time no see- FYI, I only get commission on properties that close, this one was a no go from the start- only thing to come out of it was a little eye candy and stories to tell the grand-kids of the time I........
ps, I have been running around like crazy and need to get back to writing about my wonderful industry.
