Side-Stepping

This whole thing has been quite the learning experience.  We're doing something we've never done and we're not going by the book.

After sealing up our tiny home in housewrap, and tightening it up in a tarp, we found soft green moss growing on our medex.  I think this was partly because a lot of dust from cutting the medex was left on surfaces, partly because the tarp was too tight in this wet weather, and partly because it it taking longer than we thought.

So, we pulled off the housewrap and found a recipe to use to kill any possible spores and prevent future mold growth of any kind.  It's a mixture of vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, water and boric acid.  We are in the midst of treating all surfaces, inside and out.

We've also  started fresh with a new tarp, tented out with plenty of airflow.

Time to spring forward...
