Disaster, Recovery, And The Importance Of Hope

By Jim Thorpe


Disasters happen every year to millions of people. It seems that no matter where we live on this earth, there is always the possibility of one of these scenarios emerging.

The conditions that foster mold growth include a dark, damp, and humid environment with poor ventilation or air circulation. Any room in the home that has these conditions is susceptible to the formation of mold growth.

When a person thinks of a dark, damp, and humid room in their home, the first place that comes to mind is their bathroom. Bathrooms are notorious for their ability to foster mold growth and are the main trouble area of any home when it comes to mold prevention.

The Tampa Theatre first opened in 1926, and was the first commercial building in Tampa to have air conditioning. The Theatre was deemed a "movie palace," and quickly became extremely popular.

Around the 1960's and 1970's however, the Theatre fell into disarray. It was almost torn down because the land underneath it was considered to be more valuable than the theatre itself.

But the people of Tampa banded together and made sure that their precious theatre was not taken from them. The Theatre reopened in 1978, and continues to be a popular place to visit for Tampa locals and national tourists alike.

Property restoration is the art of containing a disaster in the making, making every effort to salvage what can be saved, and then rebuilding. For most of us, our homes are the most valuable asset we have.

Bathroom fans are not installed in every home, however, so homeowners without a fan in installed in their bathrooms may want to consider purchasing a small portable fan to help circulate the air in the bathroom.

Beyond providing the typically stagnant air of the bathroom with the proper ventilation it needs to combat mold growth, a homeowner can help prevent mold spores from developing in their bathrooms by keeping the bathroom clean.

If you or any members of your family are animal lovers, Big Cat Rescue is going to be a must-see for you. If you are looking for a place to have a calm picnic, there is a place in Tampa that is perfect for such an activity.
