I left you hanging on the asbestos and structure.  Is the place falling in?  Is there asbestos?

First, I had to find someone to say the place was not falling down.  We had a good friend come by who is busy doing other things BUT he knows about structures.  He came to check things out.  Verdict?  Not falling down!  That is wonderful news.

Asbestos is next.   The structural inspector gave me two numbers of companies close by who are good.  I called the first number – not a working number.  So, on to the second number.  This time I got an answer.  I explained to the receptionist what I needed.  She said I could talk with this other person and she transfers me.  We chat.  He says “we do not do that anymore”.  I was beginning to get a tiny bit discouraged.   On the good note though,  he gave me a name and number that he uses for this kind of thing.  Dyana Lee.

I called Dyana.  We had a wonderful conversation.  I was encouraged again!  She sounded like she knew what she was doing and was ready to get moving.  I sent an email with the size specifications of the building.  She sent me a proposal. I accepted and off she went.   THEN – the Report!   On first reading  I thought “Asbestos everywhere!”.  It turns out to be not so bad.  Of the 100 or so places she sampled less than 10 had a problem and most of those were different places on the walls.

This seems like it will be a continual roller coaster, but the ride sure is fun.  I will catch everyone up more within the next few days!
