I hired a state certified asbestos abatement contractor to remove VAT, VAT
mortar/adhesive, and acoustic ceiling in my house. They are removing 660 sq
feet of popcorn and 450 sq feet of VAT for $2,500. Il et them in this
morning, and then I went to work. They said it would take two days.

Out of curiosity, I drove by my house tonight expecting to see an Asbestos
warning sign on the door, and one of those "decontamination showers" they
supposedly construct. There was nothing, no warning sign, no sign of any
containment. Is this to be expected? Wouldn't they run their negative air
pressure machine all night, or do they pack it all up each day and return
with it the next? Does this sound normal? Help!

Of course I too have heard of such a shower - but WHO are you claiming
uses them - are you saying asbestos contractors do? The asbestos
seems to be contained inside your private home. Not like its a school
where you need to warn teachers and kids not to g down a certain
hallway. Who is the sign supposed to warn at your house?

I think you are just vastly inflating the scope and seriousness of
your project. A lot of illegal aliens have been busted, working
asbestos jobs. It not rocket science.

Of course it's not rocket science to scrape crap up. It does however take a
RESPONSIBLE, knowledgeable person to properly contain and eliminate
disturbed fibers. That's why the details are so important.
