Yeah, I freaked out and caused one of our kids to freak out. But 10 minutes later, all was well!!!!!! WHEW.
A little bit of snow had blown up the roof and under the ridge cap and into the attic. On a VERY sunny day (high-altitude sun), so it melted and dripped though a gap in the ceiling metal.
Honestly even if my husband had not gone up there to see what had happened, we probably would have been fine, although it is true that our semi-arid climate, high-altitude sun, and most importantly wool insulation helps our attic stay nearly perfect (wool dries out fast).
If there were just 2 things you could do for a mold-resistant house, I would recommend wool insulation, and plaster walls. 🙂
Of course there are many other aspects to our house that have helped our house stay mold-free for 7 years, but I think these 2 materials are among the best strengths of our house design for resisting mold growth.
