Jessica,

Although it might seem like I am lazy to not just bleach the walls 
myself, I think that it adds value to have a third party come in and 
bleach the walls, and wipe away the mold.

This way, there's a third party involved, and there is no question about 
whether the walls were bleached or not.

We moved every piece of furniture away from the walls and Paulie wiped 
every wall that had mold, down, with a 10% bleach solution.

Those walls, as previously noted, are all exterior walls - which 
suggests that lack of insulation has something to do with it.

During the process it was noted that as a result of Richard Henson 
spraying the inside of the apartment with a latex intended for outside 
use, that the wall has an extra-bumpy texture ... which makes it hard to 
wipe.

A brush is more appropriate - but that would scatter 10% bleach solution 
all over the place, onto the carpet, etc.

Properly speaking, the application of the bleach to the walls should be 
done in  bare room, with sheets laid down to protect the carpet. But who 
has time to do it right?

And so I predict that as a result of the bumpy texture, as a result of 
being limited to a sponge, instead of a brush, that, naturally, enough 
spores were missed, here and there, to guarantee that the mold will be back.

Nonetheless, I appreciate the effort.


Regards,
