Mould Free Living

Living with mould is part of life in a Far North wet season but you should be aware that mould can have an adverse effect on your health and is much more than mouldy shoes in the cupboard.  Mould can have serious effects on those who suffer from asthmas, allegies or just those who have a weak imune system or are recovering from illness. 

7 Solutions to a mould free home was written by a couple who spent many years living near Kuranda in the wettest, mouldiest place on earth, (but also 1 of the most beautiful) Anne Clark is an NES pactitioner and Darryl Clark operates a small business trading in climate control systems.  Their advice given in this book is well worth a read.  Available at Enviromart Australia  $  21.95.

Wet & Forget

The wet season is now is full swing and the mould is growing daily on all outdoor surfaces...  unless you applied Wet & Forget last year.  We applied this product to the cement behind our shop in late Nov 07 and it is still mould & algae free.  This product is now being used by councils, hospitals, businesses, body corporates and private homes.  Wet & Forget can be applied to paths, pavers, rooves and garden edging.  Just spray it on and let the rain finish the job for you. No scrubbing.

Cyclone Prepared

We now have a range of electronic weather meters to help you keep an eye on the wet season.  These indoor monitors will give you humidity, barometric pressure, temperature and moon phase all from the indoor comfort of your home and you don't have to get your feet wet. 

Wind-up dynamo or solar torches and radios also use alkaline batteries so you can choose the power source from which to operate your appliance.  They are very handy when power supplies are disrupted for extended periods and batteries are difficult to get.  

GREEN BUILD

Green Build.com.au is dedicated to promoting green build materials and services to North Queensland. There is a revolution taking place and many of the materials and services that are available in other parts of Australia are not making it into our region quickly enough. The website is designed to speed up the process and provide a cost effective way of presenting new building choices if you live in this tropical part of Australia.
Green Build.com.au will promote a building material or building service that is ‘Green’. You can pay to upload individual items to sell with photos, list in three categories and choose additional advertising on the homepage and category search pages. A ‘Green’ construction service can be listed with additional opportunity to advertise logos and websites on the category search pages.
Buyers can search the website by location or by building material or construction service category.
There are many shades of ‘green’ and the operators of this website will be ensuring that the products and services promoted on this website are meeting standards to maintain integrity.
