Farmerjan's journal - Weather

Better than I did... and getting outside in the air has been better than being inside for any length of time...
Still some coughing, but not alot... little runny nose...
Pretty typical of the 24-48 hr ones I get...
Sometimes wonder if there isn't more to this... seems I get this more frequently the more I am in the house... no obvious mold but the symptoms seem more intense inside, and lessen ALOT when I get outside...

60 to start, sun is coming out but is supposed to cloud up more...

Unfortunately, looks like @Mini Horses is going to get some good rain out of this and we are going to be much more spotty the further west we are... Front coming up coast and some spreading of clouds and showers.... less the further west.

Farmer has 2 bull calves for me...smaller ones, NOT big, strapping 1,000 ones....:yesss::yesss:. about a week old.. so ought to be aggressive enough to go on the cow... we will pick them up when taking bull ... luckily in the same direction and DS said that would be fine... Load off my shoulders..... another farmer is expecting a set of twins this week but nothing yet...if he calls me and wants to get rid of them, I might take them too, but that is a big if.... we'll see.

DS is loading backhoe to take to pasture to see if he can find the water leak in the line... already dropped heifer off to be done for beef...

I'm going to head out and see about getting the little 4wd ranger going so I can haul some water to Betsy and check on her and the calf...

And so, starts the new week.....
 
My sister is allergic, literally, to molds. She and her dh had to move out of her house due to mold, and it wasn't more than 10 years old. Fixing the mold was not economically feasible, the builder had declared bankruptcy. She lives in an apartment with air filters/cleaners.

I'm sensitive to molds, so I bought a Honeywell air purifier for home (bedroom) and work. Both machines have been running constantly for over 5 years, turned off only when the filters need cleaning or changing. It's made a difference as I don't wake up stuffy or drippy in the morning, and I can't smell mold in my work office anymore.

Is there any way to detect mold in the house?

You can buy a mold detection kit at Lowes. Follow the instructions, scrape some of what you think is mold into the test receptacle, and mail it off with a check. They will send you a printout of what type of mold it is. Not all mold is the black mold that is dangerous. Most "mold" is often mildew in damp places which can be eradicated with bleach. There are also commercial mold killers available.

We had a tenant not pay rent and claim that there was mold in their unit after they moved out leaving a lot of damage. I tested it and it came back clean. Then I just had to repair all the damage and repaint the apartment. These tenants also brought in a couple cats against their lease and when confronted about it claimed they were "therapy animals". If these were real "therapy cats" they would have notifed us when moving in.
