Yo, homeowner type people: I'm guilty of not always using the fan in the bathroom when I take a shower cause I like to be warm when I get out. As punishment, I have tiny speckles of mold starting to show on the ceiling...for shame. Clearly, I know I must clean the ceiling, which is no small feat for someone reaching a statuesque 5'4.5", but afterward, I would like to paint/seal/whathaveyou. My question for you is: Is there some sort of primer or sealer or paint or *************** it is that will keep the mold from coming back? I'm planning on selling the house this summer if all goes well and that just isn't the nicest thing to have going on.

tilex is your friend
Yes there is primer that blocks mildew. One type is Bullseye 123 made by Zinsser. We had to repaint a room that had mildew on one wall from flood damage. It seems to be holding up just fine. There's also Kilz (sp?) which will block just about anything that may bleed through paint, but the fumes are so caustic you'd have to leave your home for days, preferably with the windows open.
Just ask the person at your local paint shop. They'll know what you're talking about.
And turn the fan on!

Just remember to check under the old paint to make sure there isn't mold under it growing on the drywall. Some molds and mildews may require you to tear out the old stuff and put new drywall in so you can seal it properly with a primer. As for not using a fan, think about getting a ceramic heater to place on the floor or counter, so that the moisture evaporates quickly.

Sell that summer home already and move somewhere civilized. With panhandlers and urban blight.

Kilz > all.
Don't be cheap, get the good stuff.

Most builders are cheap and only put greenboard directly surrounding the shower/tub area. If you're really feeling motivated, you can tear down the old drywall in the ceiling and put greenboard in it's place. Jam some latex caulk in between all of the joints before you tape, mud, and prime and you'll have a fairly water-tight seal. No need to worry about wall rot and any mold/mildew will be easily dealt with via a chlorine solution.

Kilz it is...that's what I usually use as primer, so I'll go with what I know, haha.
Yeah, I'm not taking down drywall. You lost me at motivated. I just want the mold gone.

They charge when I'm not sleeping with them and I'm guessing that would be frowned upon presently...regardless of the severity of any mildew situation.

Since we're on the subject-- obliquely --of Smash, how long have you two been together? Were you, by chance, there in LA when we all met up at that Jewish restaurant? Or is this a more recent development?
I'm usually the last to know these things.

I'm pretty sure they were doin' it in the shower in Boston while everyone else was passed out on their floor. Something just seemed a little weird when Nexa kept on trying to braid Smash's hair. Or when everyone was leaving, they both seemed to linger on just a little bit longer. They were probably like 'whew, those ******* finally left. Now we can be alone!'
Young love, so cute.
Ok. Like I said, I'm usually the last to know. So, Nexa, does Smash make you pay for coffee every other time or do you guys just go Dutch and avoid controversy?

Oh, I'm fairly certain Kelvy can attest that I was innocently passed out on a cot, much of the time in Boston. Nothing untoward happened until several months later. It's just not as easy to line up well trained koala bears as you'd think.

It only took so long, because I was waiting to get Joph alone in person to ask him how to "put the moves" on via the interwebs.
