Little Hawk,

I know several women who have similar feelings about living with men, now that they've reached an age where their children are grown and they find that occasional overnight company is enough. They'd rather have men as friends who have their own houses. What makes this work is having a large enough community of friends so that you don't feel isolated when you DO live alone.

So maybe you need to have a few in your community come help you move furniture one afternoon? Offer them a nice pizza or spaghetti dinner by way of compensation?

Be careful of any of the chemicals we have suggested as far as mold removal, glue removal, cleaning mold off of furniture, etc. They can all be as noxious as the mold itself, or worse. As was mentioned, be sure to have good ventilation.
