Even before we moved in, it was obvious that the house had some mold in its walls and carpeting. We could not only smell it but noticed it under the wallpaper and all over the old carpet padding. Of course we didn't move into the bedroom right away.
First we thought removing the lower half of the sheetrock was enough but after a while it just seemed easiest to pull off the entire wall. This image was taken after we scrubbed the subfloor with a bleach and water mixture. On the wood framing close to the floor some damage can be seen. The rotten sections were removed and replaced before we washed the 2x4's and the inside of the outer wall.
We removed all of the old insulation and tar paper, and replaced them with new ones.
Here is an image just because it is kind of funny to look at this, TODAY. I was not laughing back then, honestly :)
