mothwingNote to brother: composting should not be attempted indoors.
This boy's room is beyond being a complete mess, it's a health hazard. Seriously.
Well, but so is mine at the moment, because there's something wrong with the wall between the bathroom and mine, it's apparently too moist. We've had the problem a few years ago and thought it was the wallpaper rather than the wall. The problem quite apparently persists and now there's icky stinky white mould on my wall. Mould? Mildew? Aspergillus niger and flavus, anyway. Why exactly is everything around me - decomposing? Why my room? Can't the mould appear in the bathroom, where it would be so much easier to clean away - and would not eat my wallpaper, most importantly? Best of all - it's behind huge shelf full of books, and I do not particularly look forward to having to take everything out, examine the offending fungus, put the shelf back and put everything back in.
Incidentally, when googling for the right expression for my organic wall decoration, I found this:
Leviticus 14: "If the mildew reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house scraped and plastered, the priest is to go and examine it and, if the mildew has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew; the house is unclean. It must be torn down—its stones, timbers and all the plaster—and taken out of the town to an unclean place."
Guys? I hope I can count on your help here - please bring a cart.
I really don't understand my grandfather. When advising people on building bathrooms, he always, always told them to put a waterproof foil between the tiles and the wall in a bathroom and so they did, always - everywhere but in his own house.
Two possible things could be wrong with the wall - either the water is seeping through the seams and tiles only have to be re-grouted, or, worse, the riser's broken. Which would mean that we'd have to have someone open the entire bloody wall. Great. Sorry, Crocky, but we're never going to buy a house. And if we do, we'll do some serious planning beforehand. My parents just had to pay a huge bill for the new windows we needed, now this wall-problem - and no end in sight.
As for Stine - *snorfles* I just received a reply to the - "I can't log in!"-mail I sent on the 8th, which I already wrote them about, telling them that now I can and thanks a lot for their time. The problem was, it tourned out, that they activated the accounts one after another, and some of those were only activated on Friday or later, mine being one of them. Enrolment started on Monday last week. A nice woman told me that now I "should be able to log in and I ought to get back to them if the problem persisted". Yeah, I'll do that.
Ok. Off to collect the Latin results.

"Hello there, I seem to have a case of mildew, and I'd like to ask you to come over and have a good look at it, please."

Good luck with that!
