Moldy lumber is one of the most common concerns I hear from homeowners building healthy homes. Some people say mold on framing lumber is harmless, while others want absolutely no visible mold anywhere in their framing package.
So what can you actually do about it?
In this episode, I walk through how to reduce the risk of moldy lumber from the moment your framing package is ordered, what to look for when it arrives, and what to do when rain hits during construction.
