Topic	So my floor might be full of Asbestos. Advice would be appreciated.

The problem with Asbestos is small fibers of it break off and mix with the dust in the air. This gets into your lungs. Your body can clean the dust out but not the Asbestos fibers. Those fibers later go on to cause mesothelioma. In other words, get out now, get the place tested for asbestos, and remove all of it before replacing the floor if it exists. I wish it were that easy. It's hard to find a place for two people and five animals to live. It's not as easy as "get out". --- http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h239/nhottbarbwire/owningroad_zps2333f502.gif <cite>lww99 posted [p:907683684] in So my floo...
