[@josephstreff2571]

Replace the moldy insulation! We had a very minor leak and the insulation became moldy AND SPREAD! You will save your family from illness from it if you replace them now! I am a retired nurse and Physician Assistant and would caution against leaving them in place as they are. Like the other response said, ask for a partial refund for them. Or not.

Exactly. Don’t take any risk with mold - and that is definitely mold!

[@freddiegagging6116]

I wouldn’t use it either! You don’t want to contaminate the space with the spores! Replace and spray the panels and area with diluted bleach (1 to 10 water) just to be safe.

[@VidMediumNS]

Definitely replace them. Even drying them out or adding mold killer will never be enough. It will eventually get through and you will be fighting a losing battle. It's way cheaper to replaced the two boards rather than whatever it touches and if it gets you sick another reason to absolutely replace.

[@wizard4121]

I’d replace the moldy insulation. It’ll cause you worry forever if you don’t. It’ll drive you crazy and you’ll end up having to redo it but after everything is finished. That would be a nightmare! And you know you’re a perfectionist 😂

[@Suidloc]

Can just brush it off.

[@AdamofCA.]

immediately after winter and B4 spring (an annual task in central Calif.), i wash the mold off my high gloss painted bathroon walls with 1/2 cup bleach and 1 tablespoon of powder laundry detergeant (Tide) in 1 &1/2 gallons of warm water. Presto! Clean and good as new. Thus, yes, replace the insulation. Then, Bradey, scrub the infected mold clean, and let dry. You can reuse the clean insulation for the floor.

[@pumpupjam9648]

For you and your family peace of mind, I would replace those moldy insulation ceiling covers. No, not let them dry. They are moldy. Do not take changes ruining your home, and your life. So far, wow, your are moving right a long! Can't wait for that day where you are all done and a party at your house, with those men who helped you cut the rocks, place the stones, bring the dirt to make the cement, everyone involved into helping you make this place your own!

Absolutely replace the moldy insulation!!! You cannot kill mold. Fb has millions of people that are sick from mold in their homes. Mold is now a health crisis in the USA. Kristina Baehr on utube & her husband & her 4 children were very ill from mycotoxins that are produced from mold that cause a variety of issues including neurological. She had a beautiful newly built beautiful home worth millions. She is an attorney that now fights for families that have lost all their belongings & Health to mold & other environmental toxins. Great job on the house guy’s it is going to be beautiful. Hope Heather feels better she is such a beautiful person🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

[@angelikamessenger1237]

Chlorine kills mould spores but they are in the air constantly and will return. Most people use bleach which bleaches the colour from the mould but does not kill the spores. I live in Cornwall in the UK and mould is a constant problem due to the high atmospheric humidity. A domestic Mould and Mildew spray containing Chlorine will keep on top of the problem. Landlords tend to try and mask the problem with dehumidifiers and opening windows, yes, that is one part of controlling the problem but a spray or solution of Chlorine is another part of it. It is harmful to pets and people and must be used with utmost caution.

[@growinggenerationshomestea516]

​@@angelikamessenger1237 that makes micotoxins explode it does not kill mold. You can only kill mold on stainless steel and glass with hydrogen peroxide or vinager. Everything else that is in mold is ruined even if there isn't mold on it. Micotoxins are in the air. You will track them to your car....tell me how I know. Now a lifetime fight

[@albertalakeland]

With the air gap behind the foam board, you will need venting to allow moisture out. The foam board acts as a vapor barrier with the gap trapping moisture and thus will form mold on the roof side.

[@onthefritzfarm]

This is why I came to post. Ventilation to prevent condensation is very very important.

[@davidrobertthomas1515]

@@onthefritzfarmYes absolutely. I hope they get to read your comment. Best wishes.

[@Vault57]

25:15 Replace them. Use them as gap filler after cleaning/treating them with antifungal, if they're needed. Mold can grow on just about anything, even if only temporarily. Don't risk introducing spores into your ceiling space. Don't forget to wipe the ceiling area down where you have already stuck those panels. I have some experience with this.

[@paddlefar9175]

Bleach

[@gardengatesopen]

I would completely replace them & NOT use any as gap filler. Not even after treating them. Fungi has a way of morphing to stay alive! Nature always wins! After you cover it up- You will just never know (unless you can visually inspect it) if the mold truly did stop growing. Just don't use it. It's not worth the risk.

[@ritawentworth]

The house is looking good! Have you noticed if the house is slightly cooler with the insulation in now? I know there are no windows yet but was just wondering.

Instead of using cans for the lights, they make canless, will allow for easier install, less insulation loss and being LED better more efficient light. Color adjustable too!

[@joannmahaffey1068]

Get the mold stuff out of there. Ever minute it is there it is spreading spores through your house. What a tedious job. Feel for you.

[@Bluuplanet]

I'm doing similar insulation in my heated barn. But leaving a ¾" air gap above for air to flow from the eaves through the gap to the ridge vent. IMPORTANT: Apply a sealed moisture barrier between the heated room air and the foam and roof joists. Warm air holds lots of water, cold air doesnt ... warm air will constantly convect across cold surfaces and dump its moisture there as contact with the cold surface cools the air, soaking joists all winter long. Your ceiling is a winter-long room dehumidifier if you let moisture get past your moisture barrier to where the temperature is at the dew point.

[@SandraBull-qm4lc]

I would replace those two moldy panels... Better safe than sorry is my motto😊

Dimmer switch go brighter! You can always use less bright bulbs or remove bulbs, it is a pain to install more lights! Err always on the side of mental well being and choices. Regarding safety or lighting. Your sawdust hair is reminiscent of the 1990’s. Thrilled for you all! Missed seeing you both working together. However it was fascinating to watch the stone masons work, and for you to become skilled at a new trade. You now have the ability to create other additions as well as pick up side work with that crew. So smart for you both to be learning as you go! Better than going to school for a trade imo.
