Tuesday Turn About #326 Fall for Pumpkins
Tuesday Turn About #326 Fall for Pumpkins: This week, we have all things fall AND pumpkins, including autumn home decor, tips, recipes, and crafts!
TUESDAY TURN ABOUT #326 FALL FOR PUMPKINS
Last week’s party was HUGE.
Welcome to the fun!
Can you believe we have less than two weeks left of October?
Life is just spinning by! Looking at my last blogs posts, I realize just how long it’s been since I’ve added a new post outside of TTA! SO, last night I diligently worked to get my photos done for my cabinet post, and I finished.
PLUS, to my chagrin, I realized how many images I failed to snap! Does that happen to you? You get involved in a project and forget to take pics along the way? (Such is the life of THIS blogger!)
Anways, I digress. Let’s get this party started with all things fall and LOTS of pumpkins!
Abode Adventures
Last Tuesday, we had about two inches of rain fall in less than 12 hours.
Unfortunately, that night, I went to pick my blanket up off the floor near my trailer’s bedroom door, and it was drenched!
Obviously, so was the carpet!
So, the carpet was pulled back (by me!), and I found this…
Yep… as you can tell from the mold, this has happened before, and I didn’t know it!
A dear friend, who is a general contractor AND trailer owner, “happened” to be in the area on Wednesday (totally from the Lord), and he was able to do some sealing on the roof. However, a new roof (or another type of fix?) will need to happen in the near future.
The subfloor is dried out now, and I’m working on remediation. My trailer neighbors are out of town right now, and I’m going to wait until they return for the hubby part of the duo to check things out.
I’ll keep you posted!

My Wee Finds
If you are wondering what I’m using first to treat the mold on the porous wood surface of my subfloor, I will be using the RMR-86 mold stain remover, and then I will be using the RMR-141 fungacide. Upon doing my research, these products seem to work well! Again, I’ll keep you posted!
Also… I recently re-purchased this Whitsunday Collapsible Foldable Wagon for our pastor and his wife (it was a purchase by the church, but I placed the ordered 😉 ). Mine has stood the test of time, so we thought it would be great to help them with carrying totes, etc. into our new facility.
Weekly Household Tip
To continue the ‘chicken-cooking’ saga… When I’m boiling chicken to add to my salads, adding a cup of chicken broth to the water makes for extra yummy bites at lunch and dinner! 😉
Now, let’s get to some features!

It was a wonderful party this past week, and I’m looking forward to even more! Maybe even some Christmas posts? Is it too early? (It’s never too early for me!)
Julie,
Sorry to hear that you have this issue with water….I hope you can get it taken care of quickly..
My Link Ups for today’s party are # 7, 8 and 9!!!
Thanks so much for hosting this wonderful party!! I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into it along with visiting all the links!! I hope you are having a great week!!
Hugs,
Deb

Thanks, Deb. It’s always something! 😉
That’s terrible about the mold! I’m so sorry. Thanks for the party.
Thanks, Amy. Praying the Lord will give guidance and wisdom!
I, too, will often finish a project and then realize I forgot to snap photos of important steps along the way! It’s always frustrating but I don’t seem to get better at it! I’m sure it was very frustrating to discover your mold issue! Sounds like you did a quick fix and praying that you get good advice when your neighbor returns. Thanks for the party, Julie, and all the fun pumpkin/fall inspiration!
Thanks, Laura. My dear friend is a mechanical engineer and trailer-DIYer as a hobby. He thrives on fixing things, so I’m sure he’ll be a big help. So thankful!
HI Julie, Oh I’m glad you had a friend who could assess the damage.
Thank you for the party. I pinned the pumpkin brownies!
laura
So good to see you, Laura! I hope things are going well with you?
Julie, so sorry about your wet floor and moldy sub-floor. What a hassel. Hope you get it fixed pronto.
Thanks, Carol. There is always something! And it usually costs $$$!
Thank you for including my fall entry in this weeks features….hugs!
You are so welcome!
Ugh! How NO FUN!! I’m sorry you have to deal with that. Nothing like taking care of a house, right? Good luck with all that, and thanks as always for hosting the party!
Exactly… It could be much worse!
Sorry about your floor. Are you going to replace the flooring with carpet or go trendy with the plank flooring? Look at the bright side you get to remodel before the holidays. Looks like you got over the worst part, drying it out as it takes time, and so does a new roof.,
I’m not doing carpet… for now, I’m going to get some floor runners to cover the subfloor. But I’ve first got to take care of necessities before anything else! 😉
Thank you for hosting, and wishing you lots of success in your battle with the mold! We’ve had good results using borax; it’s organic and works well on all kinds of fungi by drastically changing the pH. Just make sure the area stays dry afterward. Maybe it’s worth a try!
Thanks for the tip! I wonder how well it works on porous surfaces? I’ll do some research!
Yikes, I know I am always on guard for water damage and leaks….best of luck in all you need for getting it repaired. Love the great variety of features. Don’t work too hard, and enjoy the week ahead.
Thanks, Melinda! Yeah, you and I both know the issues that go with trailer living! Thanks for the support!
Hi Julie~
Sorry about your mold issue. Such a pain! We once had to rip out an entire kitchen because of it! Water damage is the worst.
Thanks for hosting! I appreciate the feature! Have a great week!
Yeah… I’m thinking that if need be, my friend (a mechanical engineer and trailer DIYer) will be able to help me. Mold and water damage is always so daunting!
I hope your repairs go smoothly. No one wants their home torn up during the holidays. Good luck!
OH, NO Julie mold id the worst. Take all the help you can get to get it fixed 🙂
And thank you for including my Mason Jar Pumpkins with the rest of the fabulous inspiration this week! Take care – Creatively, Beth
I’m so sorry to hear about the water issue, Julie! It’s a good thing you noticed it! Thanks so much for featuring my stamped coasters! I appreciate it so much. 😊
Ugh, im sorry for yourbwater problem and damage. You are very resourceful, though, and I look forward tonreading about your remediation. What a blessing having the contractor neighbor available!
Thank you for the party, Julie.
Hi Julie, thanks so much for the feature! Sorry I was too late to link up this week. I’ve had double duty with grandkids and dogs, and I’m exhausted! Hope you resolve your leak soon, that’s certainly no fun to deal with! Hugs!
I hope all is okay… I think you missed this week, too! Take care, sweet friend!
