Oh, boy!

So several weeks ago, it came to my attention that one of the sinks in the kids' bathroom upstairs was leaking. I put a small bucket under there to catch the water and told Big Poppa; he said he would take a look at it.

Fast forward to today. While I'm cleaning the kids' bathroom, I notice a dark patch on the carpet near the cabinet. Upon closer inspection, I learn that it's mold.

Yuck.

I open the cabinet to check under the leaky sink and guess what.

More mold.

It's black, which is freaking me out because I know black mold can be dangerous, right? So now I'm on the internet, trying to find a solution for clean-up. Except I think we might have to replace the carpet.

BTW, it wasn't my idea to put carpet in there. When we were designing our house, I suggested extending the tile from the shower area into the sink area. Big Poppa said no. Lol, yes, I am so blaming this on my hubby! ;-)

Anyway, the carpet only covers maybe six square feet, which wouldn't be too expensive to replace with some tile or hard wood. At least, I'm hoping.

I hate mold.
