Good advice, blind-ster... I have a report that was done before I bought the old building... The guy told me exactly where every thing is... One thing that lots of folks don't realize is that old linoleum flooring and some floor tiles also have asbestos in them...

Think about that for a second, will ya???

Yeah, most of the tile floors in the old hotel have 12% asbestos... They are much easier to deal with becuase you can put shellack on them, then glues and screwed luan and then new floors and 100% of the asbestos is now perminently sealed...

Pipes aren't as easy...

Yeah, I will be carefull and I will get a report, especially since I may be building out a portion of the basement (where these pipes are) for a commercial space...
