Default Board and Batten question
Hi guys, does this look like mold to you on the board and batten? It's only in certain areas as you can see (such as under the soffits and north facing wall), and seems to be most present in the shaded areas.

Thanks,
Paul-Marc

I'll pass along the tip! Being a pre-listing inspection this is likely what they'll do. Thanks!

"Fungi" is the magic word.


“The things that will destroy America are peace at any price,
prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
Theodore Roosevelt
