Good thread. If anyone has any demo or construction related questions, I will try to give you an answer the best I can.
As for Bevil Oaks I'm not sure who is requiring a mold test. On my houses, I have been running dehumidifiers for 4 or 5 days then spraying mold killer. The moisture levels have all been well below 15% after about a week. Also running your AC and the mild weather last week has helped keep mold down a good bit.
baddog, if you are looking for work I can pay you a whole dime a sq ft and keep you busy for a few years!
