Yeah, good luck. We passed on houses that we knew contained asbestos tile and when you mentioned layers of flooring I suspected that was what you had since it's a recommended practice to just leave it there and build over the top.
Go get a couple respirators now. Make sure they're OSHA/NIOSH approved, not the useless paper dust masks. For best results you should also really shave the beard, otherwise you won't get a tight seal. On the up side, while asbestos is nothing to laugh at it's also manageable. It's most dangerous when it's a dust that can get in the lungs. And IIRC, it's relatively safe until exposed to high temps (ironic considering what it's for). So consider this incentive to give up the smoking since that can activate the asbestos particulate. Again, good luck. (I won't even ask if you have a building permit. :-p ) -Kevin On 6/1/05, Paul Ihrig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > wish i would have read the http://www.rfci.com site first > most if not all vinyl floors before 1980 have asbestos. > though vinyl is the safest to remove > > removal instructions > http://www.rfci.com/files/pdf/RFCIRecommended9-04.pdf > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:159321 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
