This is the first time I ever did anything like this, so please feel =
free to sling all the comments and suggestions.

I tore out the floor and drywall under the sink . Photos show various =
views. Mold is on the front and also on the back of the drywall up to =
about 12 inches from the floor. Above that I don't see any. My thought =
was to tear out that whole side of the wall up to the bottom of the =
window (42 x 96) and replace with a new piece.

The floor looks pretty clean - no mold that I see so far. So I'm =
planning to tear up all the water damaged pieces and replace with =
concrete-board / wonderboard.

Thanks, fellers!

FYI, photos posted at alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking. Here is a brief =
description of them...

view1 - view of all damaged wall/floor with floor removed
view2 - close up where wall meets floor
view3 - wall with some drywall removed
view4 - piece of drywall swung out from wall. clean except for what =
looks like powdery white deposits running horizontal and vertical. they =
don't line up with the pipes or anything - maybe it's drywall material =
coming thru?
view5 - close up of view4
view6 - piece of drywall near floor - outside
view7 - same piece - inside

The lines running horizontal and vertical are directly in line with the
waste pipes, i wouldnt worry about those white lines they are not mold or
mildew, just areas that have not gotten dirty inside the wall cavity.
The waste pipe looks like there is crud formed on the joint, this may be
your source of moisture. It could also be a leaky roof, tub surround,
dishwasher, cracked slab, etc. It could be almost anything, look for the
source of water and you've got your answer regarding the lower moldy areas.
I found a leaky compression fitting to be the source of my problems.
