The Silent Generation.
My grandparents did that...beautiful hardwood floors in the bedrooms...covered with carpet.
Lol - my parents did this too. The lower level had asbestos tile over cement floors. Think I turned out ok anyway. Mostly?
Yah my house has asbestos on the upstairs floors. As long as you don't disturb it, the asbestos in clay binder is harmless.
Yep. Clean and wax that stuff and it will shine like a chrome bumper!
I remember painting my nana's house with asbestos shingles. The aunt that got the house in the will was told it was cheaper to leave it in place than removing because of 100% recovery regulation(s).
That shit wore like iron too. If you drive around older parts of cities and towns, occasionally you'll see "fishscale" shingles on homes from the 1910s and 20s with steeply pitched roofs. Those are asbestos cement as well, and they wear like iron as long as they aren't hit by large objects. There's a section of town in Cape Girardeau, MO that has a neighborhood that used these in the original construction. About 1/3 of the houses still retain the original shingles/roof. Some are a bit mossy, but they aren't leaking. Good shit as long as you don't break them and breathe the dust.
