Wet weather and GTO housing
With all the rain we've had this year, is anyone else here having problems with dampness in their homes? Or mold?

Have to keep burning 24x7 a 40w incandescent bulb in the cabinet on the "earth side" of the house to keep the mold down. With the light on it just smells bad but before I put the light in, the mold was starting to grow on pots and pans stored there. It's not just here but also a big problem in many places in Mexico because construction practices don't put up water barriers. It was just as bad in San Cristobal de las Casas, another place I have spent considerable time living.

**** edit: Basically if earth is above the foundation on any wall of your house, you will have mold is a general rule
