I Fondly Remember Those Carefree Days when My Biggest Problem was an Old-timey Push Mower (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Mold)

So... In a nutshell... Some aspect of the ventilation system in our home has been quietly leaking water, which, in turn, has done serious damage to some dry wall, carpet, floorboards, etc. The icing: there's a lot of mold. Some of the mold is actually in the ventilation system, which means we really shouldn't run the A/C until the consultants get it figured out and eliminated. As it is in most parts of the world right now, it is August here in Phoenix. Seem to vaguely remember something our Allstate agent told us when we got our policies last year, about not covering... was it mold? The consultants mentioned today that after they get everything dried out, they'll start ripping out all the impacted walls until they're sure they've removed all the water-damaged and mold-ridden portions of the house. Nice. We'll use the Lincoln Logs and Bristle Blocks to rebuild.

We have the technology, if nothing else.
