More Mold Than House

During my househunting trip yesterday I had a "fixer-upper" on my list. It looked great in the write-up -- a bit of land, house was gutted so we could finish it exactly to our liking, and a great price. One step into the house was already one step too far.  The problem wasn't the extensive water damage.

The inside was COVERED IN MOLD!!!  There were multiple dehumidifiers running full blast, but that won't fix the problem with the toxic mold.  This house should be condemned!  The local fire department should burn it down as a practice house or at least DEMOLISH IT. How could any realtor agree to list this property without disclosing the mold??!! Maybe s/he never actually stepped inside the house. Wish I hadn't either.

This photo doesn't even capture how extensive the mold was.
