Mold, Ugh!

Found some mold in a corner of the back room in the apartment. We notified our landlord, who is currently serving with the USMC in Japan. He got back to us and said to clean it and keep him apprised of the situation. It seems to have just been surface mold since I was able to get rid of it with the appropriate cleaner and some elbow grease. The room tends to be a bit cool and I think some dampness has gotten in from the outside. The plaster is still solid so I think with a little monitoring, the periodic spray of blocker and better air circulation, we should keep the mold at bay. Our landlord plans to do some renovations when he returns in December. Well, maybe not right after he gets back but probably in the spring of next year. I think things should be okay until then.

Shopping Fun

Found out I could stuff a sizable carpet in my car. I had to get some indoor/outdoor carpet for my mom's place and I decided to not pay $65 to Home Depot to deliver the thing. Took a little doing but I got it in there. Of course when I get back to her place, the luggage cart is MIA. Apparently someone took it to the other building and it disappeared from there. One of the porters got me one of the shopping carts the maintenance guys use and helped me bring it upstairs. A friend of hers is doing the installation so I'm off the hook for that one. He was in the business a while back so he's welcome to it.
