Perfect Sunday afternoon?

mr.Curmudgeon:
We didn't have quite enough to worry about. It was mostly removed by the previous owner, they just did a really crappy job. The pipe coverings were gone, we just have to encapsulate and scrap away stuck on asbestos around the pipe elbows.

Professionals get paid so much, and use such extreme protection because they're exposed to it in much greater quantities, much more consistently.

That's not to say I'd ever want to have to deal with the stuff ever again. Ever. Ever.   :scared

Uhhh, for the record - asbestoses is a pretty big deal, because you only need one fibre to lodge in your lung and sit there for ten years until your body can no longer cope with a foreign particulate it can neither dislodge or dissolve. Whatever risks you want to take are up to you, but if I caught my neighbours doing amateur asbestos removal I'd report them pretty damn quickly.  :scared

(and I know that different forms of asbestos have different levels of danger, but I don't like the idea of anyone reading this thread and walking away with even the slightest thought that they don't need to pay for some 'dumb trades-person' to do the work when they've got a cheap face-mask and a knife - please at least say you used proper high-level particulate-trapping masks and professional quality sealant before you tell people 'it's easy to do yourself'   :-[)



edit: not to mention if you'd done that two weeks ago you could have just tossed a few splashes of red paint on each other and gone straight over asking for candy as well!
