I have mold in the attic I have to hire someone to clean but I have

learned to get some idea of proper way to do it first before talking

to someone to do it.

First there is mold dust on insulation so that will have to go but

as far as mold on the wood beams itself, should I have it scraped

off/sanded off and then treat the wood with something to kill the

what is left, and then seal. This is my idea of how it would be

done. Any thoughts on this? Does that seem right to others? I

have to get up there with floodlight to see exactly how much wood is

involved. It is all the wood, just here and there.

I think first step would be to remove insulation and seal attic

floor so air up there while working would not come down into house.

Of course if I then have mold sanded off wood, that will make mold

airbourne after putting down new attic floor seal, won't it???

Seems like a really hard thing to do, clean the attic without

spreading it all over house.

Maybe I should just seal the floor, put new insulation down and

leave it at that???

(, I know I should put new roof on or move, but a new roof would

break me financially and then I would be emotionally/mentally ill in

addition to physically ill still. Moving I cannot do now.)
