We've got mold and mildew down there people! It's making me sick. Anyway its so goddamned humid here and our house is so freaking old it is just growing things. We're trying to get

It's actually too much for us to deal with. Water intrusion into our ridiculous basement has been an issue since we moved here. The basement is accessed from the outside.It's just a staircase and then a door so anytime it rains water pools at the bottom of the staircase and floods the basement area. Aimee had a bunch of wood scraps for her projects down there and we had other crap down their too. Over the years it's just moldier and moldier. Anyway we had a licensed air quality guy come down into our crawlspace. It wasn't so great to say the least. I put a dehumidifier down there and we moved out all the wet stuff so it's a lot better. Unfortunately some of it is that really toxic mold so we need to have a professional come in and clean it if we want to avoid serious damage. Our house is 3/4 crawlspace/piered and about a 1/4 basement. I think the basement was put in to access plumbing,but it sucks and I hate it. It is structurally the weakest part of the house. I must say that I have enjoyed putting effort into our home lately. it's been a nice change if not a little scary!
