re: #159 stpaulbear

I can remember when we had to start taking construction asbestos abatement VERY seriously, and some of the contractors were fighting it as too costly and unneccessary. I heard one of our architects telling the story of a contractor who wouldn’t accept that asbestos was dangerous and to prove his point he took a bite out of a chunk of asbestos pipe insulation. Jeez.

Some of the old salts in flooring that I know, replaced the flooring in all those 40-50’s houses that had Vinyl Asbestos Tile. They just yanked that shit up. :(
