I have a friend in state government (senator) that checked it out with the EPA and the DEQ for me and this particular property is a non issue, The station stopped being a gas station in 1958,.. when the new freeway was built and went right past the town (also killed the town,... it was a tiny...

When I put up dry wall in a garage before I cut it so it was 2" above the floor and then put on that 4" rubber base molding you see in office buildings & Bathrooms, Never got wet and soggy,..... I don't know if it has been covered on this forum before,..But a buddy of mine had spray on...

Thanks for the tip Franz,... but those two options seem a little beyond my ability at this point,.... but again, thanks for the idea.

Hi Everyone, I have been lurking here for a long time, I didn't want to start posting yet about this because I haven't closed on this building quite yet, and I didn't want to jinx myself,... I should close on it in a week or two, But with winter coming up there are things I am working on now to...
