I sure hope your dad is right. He makes sense.

I'm familiar with Kilz brand primer, which supposedly kills mildews and such at the same time as it primes the surface, and then you paint over it. I hope it is as simple as that!

I'm sorry to tell you but your grandfather is not right about some stuff. Black mold can grow in places you can easily see. It's very dangerous. You need to have a contractor who works with mold repair come look at it and advise you. If you have mold, the spores are already in the air, the carpeting, bedding, etc.... Please don't mess with this yourself or have your husband mess with it. It's not worth it.

Yikes, this is scary. I worry about my house as well.

I know some kinds of mold are serious. I have heard of houses that had to be destroyed due to some kind of mold infestation. I think there might be some type of building inspector in your area that might be able to help you assess the situation and suggest appropriate action for the problem.
We all know that Wegs makes us a lot more susceptible to infections, fungus, and other things so I am guessing that includes problems from mold so I would also suggest extra vigilance is warranted to assess and fix the situation.

Wow. It's always good policy to listen to Sangye (and drz, and Phil). Living in the damp Pacific Northwest, this is something I should think more about, too. It does sound like professional advice is the way to go.

He brought a swab with him and it was sent away; wasn't any type of mold. They are not sure if it was just discoloration from where moisture leaked through and grabbed some black dust from the asphalt shingles, or what.
I was about to LOSE it if it was mold because we had our entire roof replaced not even 2 years ago and treated... They would be coming back to fix that LOL
It washed right off. I didn't do it.. no worries, LOL

Do not fear anything, just do it afraid!
It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop!

Good news Carrie, but for future info to all about mold. When our company rental tenants experience mild to moderate mold on ceilings or walls the contractors we hire use Microban(c) to spray the affected areas after first thoroughly cleaning them first, then use Kilz to prime and paint. It seems to work quite well.
