Hi Sailin'

Bummer of a situation. I agree on the dehumidifier. Try to find one that has a built in pump that you can run to a drain. They were on Amazon a couple of years ago if you cant find one locally.

I understand your desire to rid yourself of mold, and I'm sure there is some stuff you should throw away. But I do not understand the need to replace the glass. You should be able to clean and completely disinfect a glass surface--laboratories do this every day. Soap and water, alcohol, bleach--each of these will kill just about anything.

It is the porous surfaces, such as wood and drywall, that are challenging. On the porous surfaces, you might investigate anti-mildew paint.
