How do you get rid of mold around windows?

I have mold growing around my windows and have tried bleach sprays but it doesn't get rid of it completely. Any ideas/suggestions? I prefer a nonchemical path but will do anything.

  I've hand-made many things over the years...stools, birdboxes, shelving, hiking sticks...the list goes on. I also love sewing and decorating the house, so now I'm into the world of 're-purposing' :) Can't wait to get started on the many plans in my head! Estate sales and yard sales are my newest sport :).....so much fun!

Clay B (Chesapeake, VA)
Sealing around a vinyl siding mounting block

I had to remove a wooden mounting block on my vinyl sided house (it was there when I moved in), of course the wood rotted. I purchased a jumbo mounting block ... »
to fill in where the old wood block was, and old J-Channel. I used a siding removal tool, installed the new mounting block like the one shown. I'm just not satisfied with the bottom corner in the red-circle, to keep water out. Now I installed this on an existing house, and have 2 light fixtures to do yet. I don't know how good the house-wrap is underneath, so I don't want any water seeping in over time and doing damage. I have searched the web, and found nothing. I've seen "Big Stretch" caulk, to seal the box to the siding, and then put the trim ring over it. Any other ideas?

Window Salvage

Do you ever make something and just can't help smiling when you are done? That is how it was with this project.. I painted random pieces of scrap wood, trim ... »
pieces, pallet wood and Bri Waxed the window frame with light brown. The scrap wood and the window frame were free :).
I wasn't sure how much I needed, just painted what I thought might work. None of the scrap pieces I had were long enough to go across the whole window so I knew I would have to cut them into sections.
The next thing I had to decide was how to attach the wood to the very narrow interior window strips. This problem led to the happy solution of running the wood in opposite directions. I used the nail gun to attach the pieces, had to shoot straight and did miss you a few, but only a few.
This really is a relatively simple project and so fun to see it come together!

Bay window helps makes this bathroom remodel extra special!

This bathroom remodel was done a little while ago but I still think it's one of our best - mainly because of the bay window which gives such a great focus to ... »
the space. Actually the bath was in the window location in the previous design, but we moved the position slightly so that we could add the beautiful walk in shower. I also think the wash basins and vanity set on the corner works well. You can see more photos at http://rule4remodelingcontractor.com/bathrooms/
