Day 2

Removal process continues, this time with the carpet in the living/family/formal dining?
4 hours of work of two man and several layers of carpet and linoleum gone.
Now, here comes the beauty of carpet and unprofessional fix ups, and what to expect when you buy an old house..

Not the first time I met such in my life, but this was so far the worst.
For some reason is popular to save money on the preparations, and focus on the end result. In Finland we had a layer of tiles under the tiles in our bathroom when we decided to get rid of the still good condition but awful looking tiles, and several layers of broken mirror under the mirrors on the wall, but they were all clean and dry, so kinda ugly work but healthy living conditions.

In our new home, under the carpet however laid a lovely layer of mold. A thick one.. Luckily not the black one..
One of the previous owners "reneved" the linoleum by gluing another layer of linoleum, and on top of that a layer of carpet.
Between the two layers of linoleum "our" mold lived its glorious time, for ages I suppose. Not anymore! :)
The guys teared off the carpet, linoleum, everything, and cleaned up the living room. It took them quite some time and hard work, so if you have similar work ahead expect some hard time.
Advices I would give if you have any work agread:
- prepare for the worst :)
- have hammer, burin, and lots of big industrial, and stronger plastic bags prepared for garbage
- use protective clothing (professional if you have), long sleeves, long trousers, hat, shoes you don't mind getting destroyed, and WASH them after you removed you carpet contaminated with mold
- wear gloves, MASK with filters (not the simple ones), and even glasses while working

When you are done vacuum clean thoroughly (or broom very, very rigorously but carefully not to puddle the mold spores in the air), and you are ready to start the mold killing. DON'T use your home vacuum cleaner but rather an industrial one, meant for outdoors, garages, etc. but use a bag!!
What a joyful job! Ok, when you are done
The simplest, but very effective, solutions you can find everywhere that kill mold:
- bleach
- vinegar
- borax

I'm not a big fun a bleach, so I went for the vinegar. Costco carries gallon sized bottles of vinegar, and we bought a deck sprayer, simple, inexpensive, and it was of great use.
Poured 2/3rds gallon of vinegar in the deck sprayer and literally "soaked" the bottom part of the wall and of concrete floor with vinegar. Ok, soaking concrete is a bit exagerated, but it was completely wet, covered with about 1-2mm layer of vinegar.
Opened the windows slightly, and left it overnight.
Huhhuuuuh! Next day it was a pleasure to enter the house, no smell of any kind, no old carpet, no mold, no NOTHING!! Yeeee!!!
So, ready to start the third day with a fresh start, in fresh air :). I'm gonna try to do some before-after pics..
