Really? Usually the homeowner can do his own abestos removal.
Surprised
you had to bring an outfit in.
hey


I didn't bring in the pros, the insurance company did and they paid for
it :-) They wouldn't continue with repairs until it was cleaned up.


Smart move. Using a professional outfit leaves an excellent paper trail
regarding aspects of completeness, including covering yourself for
disclosure requirements for future sales.

Hopefully the future sale will be soon. The cabin is on the waterfront
on Harstine Island, WA looking SE across Dana Passage at Mt Rainier.
It's been in the family since SWMBO's parents bought the lot in 1961,
but as they are gone and we are really tired of coming up every year
from AZ to do maintenance and heavy duty brush cutting, it's time to let
it go - especially since SWMBO and I aren't getting any younger...
