Nate , I'm retired from Horticulture & was licensed to spray. Sadly , you may need to give yourself a Neti pot treatment after all this. Respirators are fitted for each person. Also , for the clean shaven to get the snuggest fit possible. Mold spores will pass through your beard & you can inhale them. Just an FYI
Several of my family members have had severe health issues from mold exposure.
My sister had pneumonia.
My niece got a severe sinus infection that left her with a hole in her soft palate that required several surgeries to repair after months on meds to kill the mold in her body.
Bad stuff mold.
I have a niece that is so sensitive to mold she had to move out of her home in California to a complete different area, glad you are taking all the precautions you can.
Kim smith did you notice he has a whole head unit respirator on??
@@deborahlehman8617 I can SEE his beard .
Yea look how much Art and Bri are going through to rid the mold from their house
So glad to see you are wearing the protective gear. That looks like a rough job but I bet it will be a huge weight lifted once that is done. I always admire how well you both plan out and research each task. Everything has come such a long way. Stay safe!!!
Kudos to you for taking on this job. I would have waited until I could afford a mold remediation company to do that job. Please stay safe.
ServPro wanted $27,000 to do a 1678sqft double wide for me. That included demo of drywall, staple removal, and the full remediation. Manager told me if I can remove the fixtures and drywall, they'd do the rest for $9k. So, I guess it's based on your budget. I'd rather spend my $$ on new lumber than other laborers. Just be smart about it.
Well done,what a difference already,such a good head height in your crawl space,it’s going to be fab!
Great job Nate. That's hard, tedious work. Please be as
safe as possible. Follow Ken Smith's suggestion, sounds like sound advice to me. It's looking real good down there.
I have used a similar product years ago, I had to scrape off all the heaviest mold sections and dirt etc first, then spray twice about 2 weeks apart. I also sprayed insecticide and timber preservative another 2 weeks after that. Once a year afterwards I would spray with white vinegar to stop it returning, proper ventilation is the best cure long term.
Also looks like you need some more floor support down there, some heavier joist bearers and a few more piers perhaps, an experienced contractor could advise you if you can find a good one.
Good job of attacking a miserable job in sweltering heat. That is much closer to the definition of a real man than most definitions we see in our culture.
That stuff is amazing!! Can't believe the difference it made! Wow! So worth the sweat!!
Honestly when you first started pulling down the foam boards, I thought the beams had been painted black, good job.
I thought there must have been a fire!
Big job .. hope you dont get any issues from the treatment or mold. Take care, see you next time!
That was quite a job. It is amazing how well it worked though. I'm glad you got that suit to wear, hopeful it did a good job for you. Have a Blessed day.
To think Zac Bagans suits up like this just for Ghost Hunting.
Get errr done Nate. Cheers.
How in the HECK did you end up with a Bird Nest in the grill of your truck???? I could see it happening if you NEVER DROVE the truck!!!!!!! WOW!!!! Crazy stuff!! LOL!!!!!!
Be safe Nate ❣️
Amazing how well it works, and how quickly!
That stuff is working extremely well!
Nate, I’m another follower who immediately thought of Art and Bri when I saw you doing this! Please take all these cautions seriously, we don’t want to see you hurt.
What happened to them?
Best of luck hope everything works out well for you
Katie would be so proud of you! Nasty hot job! Lol. I thought it was so funny that the dogs freaked out over you in your suit! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks for the video! I just Love your channel🥰🌺💗🌺🌸🌸🌹💕
I am proud of him :)
Talk about tedious! I would have to pay someone for that! LOL
That’s an impressive product!
Agree with others. Nate stay safe. Follow Kim Smith's advice.
This was so HELPFUL💪. THANK YOU ! 🙏
i have seen others do the mold fixing and they sprayed once then left for a bit then did it again hopefully you are doing it ok hugssssss
Take a look at the RMR86 Safety Data Sheet -- you will see the stuff is a 4 to 6% by weight solution of Sodium Hypochlorite. Clorox laundry bleach is 5 -10 % by weight solution of Sodium Hypoclorite the exact same main ingredient. Pool chlorinating liquid from a pool supply is about 12% and likely to be your lowest cost source about $5/gal at Walmart. The SDS doesn't seem to indicate any other component. Whey the stuff finally drys and the chlorine smell is gone there will be a residue of mostly sodium chloride (table salt), possibly some sodium carbonate.
I have had mold remediation. I had it professionally done. As it was explained to me, spraying the mold is not enough to eliminate it. Mold has little feet that attach to the surface it touches. Once sprayed, the mold must be scrubbed to break the bond the little feet has with the surface so regrowth does not occur. Then the area must be thoroughly dried. Once dried, a special expensive paint must be applied to the area to seal the surface and prevent oxygen from feeding any spores that may be in the crevices. I had this done and have not had any reoccurance. It is a rough process.
WS it extremely expensive if, you dont mind me asking? I've read that sand blasting is the only solution, and apparently that is very costly.
You got burned. Don’t ever believe someone who claims their an expert,do your own research
No it was no extremely expensive. For the work they did, it was incredibly reasonable. Just research your contractors. Look into the methods they choose to use. Ask questions. Check references. I got to see his work first hand on another project. I've not had a problem since. Hope this helps.
That's why you have to spray it with RMR 141 which is a fungicide and mildewcide. Once it's all dry, you need a dehumidifier to keep the moisture at bay. You can also as an extra step fog with concrobium. Problem solved
Not true
Hard work but ultimately will be worth it!
Definitely could tell it was working, this would cost you thousands $ for a professional to do this. You are saving a lot doing it yourself!
It's not worth doing it yourself
Looking great and I can really see the change. Hopefully you can get it all and not too much termite damage. That is a job and a half..............keep hydrated and come out for air from time to time............boy what a job. When Katie isn't there and you do chores alone for lengths of time be sure to have plenty of water and a phone to call for assist should you need ...............I worry with my hubby the same way so........LOL
Blessings and good luck!
Thank you for the video! it was really helpful
My mother always said horses sweat men perspire and ladies glow
Nate, i think you took on a large job that many people, myself included, would never have attempted. This in itself is a huge accomplishment. My compliments to you. But, you have my email address, and i would have come to assist you as needed in this project, especially since you did it alone. I could have made sure you were safe while you handled these chemicals.
Watching replay
Have you thought of building an outdoor kennel for the dogs, to keep them safe when they need to be?
💙
Duuuuude! You're a champ for taking this on. You are wise and methodical in your approach. And my mild "trendy" OCD loves watching people clean so I find this awesome content!
So here's the thing. I normally mind my own business about how people choose to live their lives, however... Art, from Art & Bri, was doing the same w/ his house and now he's gone MIA from YT for a little over a month now shortly after announcing that his mental illness got worse so they've stopped being a homesteading show to now complete gone MIA. YT was his family's (of 7 kids) only source of income. *I'm worried sick about them!* There's more to their story than just mold and their plate is way full with other huge stressors, but I imagine the mold exacerbated their state.
My point is... ☣ *Please.Use.Every.Ounce.Of.Safety.Measure!* Someone in the comments suggested you shave your beard for a better mask seal. I also imagine the possibility of the mold and chemicals attaching to and lingering in your beard as you spray. I know you shower, but why not be safer?! I worry when I care. I'm rooting for your safe success!!!
Thanks for the time lapse. Cool to watch it work.
Tackling a dirty job. Nice.
There are some DIY projects to take on, for sure there are. Some reason, I would consider mold and or asbestos not included in the DIY list, as to the seriousness, severity of handling and disposing of hazardous materials. Obviously the property owners will do as they choose, but if it were available perhaps experienced help a good thing.
Nate that was a awesome video. Thanks for sharing. That solution was great, very worthy of pursuing. 😅
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for sharing! That’s a big job but you’re persevering! Great progress!
I’m guessing you didn’t wait long enough between sprays. Probably just washing off what you just put on without enough time for the chemical reaction to set in.
You might want to spray the concrete walls too then put a moisture barrier on inside walls of crawl space to slow down any water that could find its way in.
Agree.
Yes. That is our plan. Great advise!
Looking good Nate. Working hard to improve your house.
Wow Nate, what a job but it's looking alot better than when you started. You probably lost a few lbs working in that suit. Lol 😆 stay safe and get some fresh air.
Lots of good advice in the comments Nate. It is a huge job you have taken on. A few mentions of Art. I noticed in one of his videos when he was doing the same thing that he blew the dust away first so that the mould cleaner went straight on to the surfaces. Just a thought. Keep up the great work, so rewarding in the end!
Jazzy!
The music gives me Mr Rogers vibes. 🤣
I just looked it up and RMR 86 PRO Mold and mildew stain remover is just 4-8% sodium hypochlorite (bleach). Bleach is not really recommended for mold and mildew in crawlspace, but a hydrogen peroxide solution. I'm glad it worked for you but this may help others in the future as well.
Good job
Prayers that this works 👍🤗
Thank you!
You shold of had negative air setup and 6 mil plastic the floor and multipe air scrubbers
Good morning Nate. I have a question. Did you do a profetional home inspection of the property before buying it? or did you do your own inspection yourself? My husband and I were buying property in Tennessee and we saw a few properties that had the same problem in the crawl space. Humid, mildew, and mold smell. and these houses were 2 years old and one was 20 years old. As soonest you enter the house you can smell it . My husband refused to buy a house with that kind of problems.
We had it inspected and knew about it.
@@TheKraemerLife I hope you can get rid of all the mold issues and It doesn't come back again later. Blessings.
What is the active ingredient in RMR?
Sodium Hypochlorite makes the mold invisible- take a tape lift sample and see what is on the surface. If no mold then you are good to go.
Is that stuff temp sensitive? I bet that would work in a cheap fog machine like they sell around Halloween. Just fill the tank and walk away for a few hours and let it do it's job. We had a mister when I was at Manny Moe and Jerks auto chain that would put out mist and get sucked into the AC ducts on a car to get mold off the evaporators.
Many years ago I had a friend who had a dead bird stuck to the front of his truck, it was there for the two years I knew him! He said God gave him a special hood orniment.
LOL
I’m sorry to say this; I really wish you had let the professionals do this job!! I agree with Kate Smith about your beard and the less than ideal fit of the mask due to your beard.
Everything always takes longer than you think so don't work the clock. Work the project.
What smart advice. I never heard that statement before
I like this! -Nate
DIY mold removal is like DIY dental surgery. 😊
Looks like the product is working well,
but I do think you were spraying way too
much at a time. It was dripping way too
much. Good luck with the whole project. 👍🏻
Smashed the thumbs up ✅
Is anyone else having Art and Bri flashbacks?
Hope not, what a disaster Art has been.
@@reggieedmonds5325 Who is Art and Bri?
Yes.
YES
@@genesis1.111 It is another homestead channel that showed alot of mold cleaning
Good morning
Same to you
A wire brush on an angle grinder should cleanup the wood very nicely
nice job not sure what your budget is but you should look into getting it to spray foamed even the block and if possible, put a rat floor which is like 2,3" of concrete That should take care of it for life
"Spray foamed", as in Insulation Spray foam?
Nate, for future reference you could have done the same thing much cheaper with pool chorine and if you wanted to really go the extra mile some muriatic acid and a little liquid soap.
Fill your sprayer with water then about 2 cups of chorine about 1/4 cup of muriatic acid and a little soap the break the surface tension of the water. If it did not quite kill it all you mix a little stronger. But 2 cups should be over kill because it take 50 to 100 oz to treat a 10,000 gal pool and your sprayer is what 2.5 gals and 2 cups is 8 oz.
Also if you go with the chorine you would have plenty to spray everything the walls, the floor everything.
FYI anyone reading this comment: “If chlorine is mixed with muriatic acid, chlorine gas is formed, which can lead to severe injuries and fatalities (SIFs) to exposed individuals.”- copied and pasted directly from scientific literature.
It always pays to google first before mixing strong chemicals together, even if people online tell you it’s ok.
First! Love 💕 y’all!
what a messy job, but some has to do it, right? I wouldn't even attempt such a fete. I'd know it's very expensive but would hire it out. Hope you don't have any ill effects from this. What can you do in the future so this doesn't come back again? Just curious.
I don’t know if you are HEAP Vacuuming the mold spores will still be there if you just spray they will go dormant no completely gone the spores needs to be sucked out of the wood
Reminds me of those silver plastic suits they used to have in the 80’s (?) for weight loss. How many lbs have you lost, Nate?
Tedious work, for sure, but oh so necessary to rid yourselves of the mold.
Hopefully not too much -- can't afford to lose much :) -Nate
If you start to become depressed or have strange new health symptoms, please seek out a natural health specialist who understands mold detox remedies. Mold isn’t your friend.
I hope this gets it all. My son Eli has black mold poisoning in his body that causes a lot of problems. So I hope this works for you guys.
Can you please elaborate on what issues he had from mold poisoning? Thanks.
I spent 25 years fighting sinus infection from mold. 6 surgeries. Way too many antibiotics and pills for life. My life was miserable. I am blessed my colon is still working. Always a headache. Sinus burning. Confusion to the point I didn't know what year it was or where I was.
I am now healed. Jesus healed me. He led me to truth. I no longer am on any medication. I no longer go to any doctor. No more hospitals for me, ever. If you want more just ask.
Jesus bless and be with you in your search for truth.
I would hate to be you in that suite, with heat! Be careful, can that suite be washed or will you have to use a new one?
Your next project should be a dog kennel,for when you can’t be with them.
Please be careful, Nate.
👍
20 gallons would still be cheaper than hiring a professional.
👍👍❤
Did anymore mold ever come back?
I thought saw in another video here on RUclips that 141 goes first then 86. I think I want to try this on a wall. How has it held up?
didn't have the rubber glove on during the spraying. please be carefully stay well
I did. but they aren't big enough to fully cover. I will be getting better gloves and a better respirator.
Wow I guess you haven't used your truck for a week or four.
It has been driven a lot, several hours on the interstate even...no idea how it all stayed in there
@@TheKraemerLife that is so funny. I guess those birds are gonna grow up strong and have stories to tell their offspring!
Spray all the wood once maybe twice
I need to renovate my house and get rid of mold. Do you feel any way effected by mold or did the mask and suit work to protect you?
Had Nate not had a beard then yes, the mask would have been 100% effective. The beard didn't allow for a full seal but he limited time down there and broke it up. No adverse effects. Make sure to get the organic filters for the face mask (P100 organic vapor filter)
@@TheKraemerLife ok thanks, I will make sure organic vapor filters are on the mask
Ariel genevieve stanley in tent deland evergreen girl by myself
Nate, we could still see your beard. Time for a shave.
🙏🏻😁 👍🏻❤️
Dose it smell lik bleach ???
Be careful....it gets very very hot in vehicles and can kill.
We always put the AC on and it is nice and cool for the pups
Praying for you Nate in JESUS'S NAME. To be safe. And for Katie to come home safely & soon. CHOW 🀄🀄🀄 FROM S E MICHIGAN. Looks cleaner. Much cleaner.
What a yucky job! Kudos to you for doing it yourself.
I must say that I'm afraid you didn't protect yourself properly. Do check it!
Can you explain? -Nate
@@TheKraemerLife I saw that you didn't close the suit properly, and some other details I've already forgotten. Take extra precaution when doing it, even if you film less. Was your camera covered?
Those joists are entirely too far apart.
Yuck!! It literally just falls off when you spray it!!
Get a certified tech. All he did was spread spores everywhere. It’ll all be back soon trust lol.
Not knowing, follow thru with Kim Smith's rec. re health.
Please don’t put the dogs in the truck or car when it’s hot out.
It can get way above 100 really fast even if you crack the windows.
Leave them in the shade outside or in the RV if there’s good circulation and/or AC.
@Lorraine Hinchliffe people like you really peeve me off. Too busy telling others how to remove the dust spec out of their eye while ignoring the 4x2 in your own !!!!!!!
At NO TIME did he say he'd left the dogs in a hot truck !!! What sort of fool would care enough about his dogs getting in the toxic mould, only to lock them in an overheating truck !!!!! It just shows how ignorant you are. Go rant somewhere in a dark room please !!!!! else
We never leave our dogs in a vehicle without the AC running
Yes, they are cooler than we are 90% of the time, lol.
Mold cannot grow under 60% humidity. Period
Why not just hire professionals for a job this important?!
