After work yesterday, I met the husband to exchange checks and termination forms. He gave me the correct ones this time, so at least I made $100 for my efforts the past two weeks.
Right after that, I went home, changed, loaded up the car, and headed to House #1 to see what the deal is with the "mold" the lady's mother had mentioned. I also brought along a bottle of Tilex just in case. I get there and I can somewhat understand the lady's mentioning of the "mold", although, it was green spots and not black as she had told my wife. As I mentioned before, central Texas is known for it's high mold count. Just about anything that doesn't see constant sunlight will have mold growing on it. The thing about this type of mold is it usually just an eyesore and not a health hazard (i.e., it's not toxic). I get the bleach/soap solution ready and start scrubbing. About 2 minutes into it, I say "Screw this!" and get the bottle of Tilex and start spraying. Almost instantly the mold is gone. So, me being lazy, I decided to just spray the spots of mold instead of burning some calories. After about 10 minutes, I get a water hose, spray it off, and all is done. I'm still going to paint the exterior, though, as it has become weathered and could really use it. I figure the $100 I got from the couple will pay for the paint, and I should be done before the weekend (I hope).

It is always a good idea to powerwash a house with a bleach solution before you paint to kill the mold. Just be sure to rinse afterwards. You can save a lot of calories that way. :)
