Asbestos

Is it bad to be so tired on Monday at 7:30am? That’s not a good start to the week, is it?

It was a tough night for the both of us. I woke up twice, and saw my husband at his computer in his study sometime around 2:30am. I just remember asking him what the hell he was doing up (he had gone to bed with me at 11pm!), and going right back into bed.

Last night we got down and dirty in our basement to remove the asbestos tile. It was either doing it ourselves, or having the sump pump installers come in with their jack hammers on Thursday and tear up the floor while releasing the toxic agent to our air. Neither seemed appealing or even safe, but we thought the risk of dying of asbestos inhalation would be less if we took care of the problem ourselves following the advised precautions. We think it went pretty well, although we don’t know what to do about the dust that remained on the ground. I might go in there and vaccuum it up today, but I need to check some websites first.

I guess this is what we get for boasting for 6 months that we got such a great deal on the house. Sigh.

And, to top it all off, it’s raining again today, and it won’t stop until Wednesday. Wish us luck.
