I'm thinking that a de-humidifier might help.Mold spores don't fare to well in dry air. (of course, that might make your skin scale up like an alligator and start to flake off, but at least you'll be alive to bitch about it!) I'm going to ask around for opinions as to the cause of your problem. Did he use a vapor barrier on your external walls? Do you have proper attic ventilation (full vented soffit on the eaves, ridge vents on all the ridges, gable vents if you have gables)? Also, go up in your attic during a heavy rain with a flashlight and closely inspect ALL your rafters to make sure that they're dry. You can have a leak in your roof that runs down a rafter, along your top plate, and inside your walls and never see it from inside your house. I'm going to investigate more possible causes tomorrow. I'll get back to you. Bob
