Show the article to enough people and they might end up paying you to remove
their $5000 granite counter tops and replace them with something else..
Sounds like a money making proposition to me.


Yep. *Put on a Tyvek suit and a PAPR and charge $350 for the 15 minute
Hazardous Material Removal Consultation.


Or they can get a $400 discount on some new quartz or Corian counter
tops.


Discount? With the radioactivity frying your waist level equipment
every time you use the sink or get a dish? No way! There's not even
time to get a second estimate.

"I'd recommend that it be removed ASAP. I could get the guys in here
tonight. Ted's got his daughter's wedding this weekend, but this is
more important and I know he'll come. You'll have to stay in a motel
for a week while we cordon off the property and erect the containment
fencing."
