Namaste  Sir Alex John,
Most repectfully- I politely take exception to your way of thinking 
and conditioning.
So, I am straight(alawys been) happily married (to the same woman) 
with 4 kids(w/same wife) for almost 15 years because I suffer from 
as you said-, "supersitiion-based societal conditioning"?.

I was under the impression that the marriage I have been engaging 
in, is referred to as Vedic householder dharma. 

And, the "human sexuality" you still engage in with your 
wife/boyfriend is commonly referred to as is what?..exactly?

Could not tell if the stud track is galvinized. Are the Hilti shot 
pins galvinized as well?

That you can see. Did you use a commonly available mold-remediation 
product that kills the "Black Mold" you cannot see?

Probably elastomeric if as you said-, "the color isn't integral".

No A.John it was  cotton batt insulation in the rammed-earth wall 
cavity that would lead to rodent infestation. I suggested perlite 
insluation in place of the cotton batt.
