Oh yes removing asbestos tiles. I did cover this subject a while back on the forum and I did suit up with the white suit, used a mask, did a lot of research on it etc. I wet the tiles thoroughly and chipped them out with a chisel. I would think that the particles did not become airborne as I did not grind them. I could have left them and entombed them with skimcoat but the idea of leaving them in the house was not appealing.
I believe there is no legislation here in this province forcing me to have it done professionally.
Also when we had mold in the basement I did it myself. I am down to bare concrete walls now so I do not want a reoccurence of that nature. I have saved us $$$$$ by doing it myself.
Thanks everybody re advice about floor covering that can take abuse from beer barrels. I will shortly go look at my daughter's GF's pub and see if the barrel storage is in the basement of the pub or on the main floor. Also as you mention there may be hygiene considerations/public health etc. Will keep you posted on what we decide.
