digitalslacker Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 is it soft? are you sure it's organic cuz it kinda looks like spray foam insulation used somewhat in old houses...they spray it in to tight areas to seal them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjiggag23 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 i say you call a pro. dont touch it at all. it could be poisonous. its probably smart if you move in with a hot girl too. or at least take showers at her place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris123NT Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Kinda looks like that fiberglass insulation stuff thats in the walls. And by the looks of it its wet which means water got back there and its starting to rot, you may have quite a big probem on your hands :(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenMaster Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 It doesn't matter what it "looks" like. Problem is that harmless stuff could also have fungus. Fungus can cause serious health problems. Have it check out by a specialist. Don't eat it or smell it. And no you don't have aliens in your house. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePDW Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 I'm not sure I have much choice right now, and it's near the end of the semester. :cry: I think the rent here is $140. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalslacker Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 yeah have someone look at it actaully most home inspection companies could probably give you a good idea over the phone, they'll probably still want to have a look at it. here is the epa's site on mold EPA.GOV since you are renting, assuming you have a lease this would be the responsibility of your landlord i work for a Real estate company and mold is a huge issue these days so i would def talk to the landlord or who ever is in charge of the property looking at it wouldn't worry, the part of mold that are toxic are the spors and honestly it's usually extended close proximity expsore that cause problems. the problems can be escalated in infants or people with respitory problems if anyone in the house has started to develop asthema or allergy like symptoms though i'd worry good luck personally i think you should try smoking itt :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePDW Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 Thanks digitalslacker, unfortunately, I don't think the landlords care enough about the house. I think they are going to rent the house as long as possible and then bulldoze it. I'm hoping it's dry rot as that wouln't be a danger to me... So far I have had no reactions that I know of. If its dry rot, I really don't care this house needs to be done away with anyway! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's safe to eat, I eat that kind of stuff all the time just seeps throughout my whole house, specially in the basement... hmm maybe that's why I'm always pale and vomiting 5-9 times a day... nah must've been the nacho cheese I ate that I found under my staircase and was half green and was covered in spiderwebs...
