Posted the pic but is doesn’t seem to be up yet. Don’t know if Mr. B needs to approve pics and thats slowing it down. I will try again later and keep y’all posted but rest assured it helps put the scope of this project in perspective.

I have uploaded a picture of the roof of 455 smith for those who care to check it out.
Please notice the cross hatched marks visible on the roof. Those are saw marks left from the removal of the asbestos containing material.
Saws make sawdust... Asbestos sawdust... Small particles... Exactly the concern when dealing with asbestos.

Now I don’t suppose that anyone is going to die tomorrow because of this abatement but I do know this isn't the same thing as removing a little asbestos from a a residential basement.
I think that the community should be made aware before a project of this size and in this type of location starts.
