50 days without rain???

In Belgium????

You must be joking. :hehe:

I kid you not.

I'm even surprised myself 🙂

We even had an Indian Summer that was better than the actual summer :w00t:

(I worked in my garden in my t-shirt at the end of October)

edit: yes, I was also wearing pants, beside the t-shirt

I'm sure that Steve would love to get another 300 notifications/day from a pants talk on the Thread... 😛

Man, that brings back great memories! Sitting on the wall in the Grand Place in Brussels on a warm evening, with a belly full of mussels and chips, swigging great beer and watching the world go round. Bliss.

Hey guys I need your unbiased view of this.

I got flooded back in late august (Irene).

FINALLY after 2+ months somebody came in to do the first response (yes 9 weeks first response).

They hauled out all the trash (which used to be my furniture). All of it was rotten since it was made of wood.

A couple days later they came in to take out the bottom of the walls (UNDER the water line) and the floor / subfloor.

There was fungus all over the place from Irene and even way more from previous incidents. Some of them apparently years old (maybe oven 1 decade from the type of fungus found in there).

Now they say they are "done" and ready to rebuild... and obviously arguing on who's going to pay what (not me as I'm renting, but since I live there I feel as I should have some say in the matter and everything I say seems to fall in deaf ears)

What irks me the most here is they didn't rip out everything that was under water (made of wood). There's still plenty of black wood left (rotten from who knows when).

They did an anti fungus round and then left the fans at full blast to dry everything up.

Now what really bothers me is that in their normal procedures they don't do anything air test to make sure they fix is correct. Now to me this looks like insanity at its best.

You need to keep in mind that during the 9 weeks waiting I had 3 separate incidents of leaving unwashed plates with a little spaghetti sauce freshly made from 6 PM on the table at 8 PM and then coming back the very next morning with 50% of it completely taken over by fungus.

I'm not expert but that seems WAY OUT of the "normal".

That was before they did their round of cleaning, now the air seems better. But that's all I have to go on.

I'm now thinking (if not forced) to pay for the test air myself (possibly 1000$ +) while stopping any work and getting the lawyers involved.

Your impressions?

Move. Some of these fungi can cause serious respiratory problems. It's not worth taking the risk.

I'm considering it too. The problem is that I'll never be able to find the equivalent. This house is literally a steal at that price. It's easily 1000$ to 2000$ / month under the market value of the region.

If I can get this fixed somehow it's my preffered option.

Also I've been living there 18 months and never got sick. All things considered, the air quality now can only be better than what it was when I first moved in. It doesn't mean I don't want to have a definitive answer on the air quality now.
