RE: removing glued mirrors

So I tried the wire. It was tough but it worked. I used picture hanging wire. The mirrors were glued on with spray adhesive. Some better, some worse. One mirror just fell down after I had removed the frame around it. I was lucky- it just slid down the wall and bounced of the floor and did not break....

Yes, I agree some sort of ventilation seems proper. Fro ma scientific principle point of view, I just cannot figure out the benefits of adding insulation above a vented air space. It is like being out in below freezing weather with a jacket that lets wind get in. I have one like that and I sure noti...

R16 is good. But what do you do with the current air space above the blown in insulation and the fresh air that flows there? To add insulation outside air has to be stopped from flowing between layers of insulation, right?

It took us a while to figure out where this might be. It turns out that it was a walk-in closet and the walls have been removed ...

Well, thank you for the quick and informative response. I am told that some abatement has occurred regarding the mold, but the seller is covering his/her rear end by saying that "the entire extend of the issue is not known". I have not been able to get any official documentation. They did ...
