Agree with all comments - the tree stump must be removed entirely before the slab work begins. No grinding, complete removal. I just did that in an area I will be using for a future slab

My crystal ball doesn't see prices going down at all.

Asbestos normally takes around 20 years to manifest itself. I respectfully disagree with you having worked in the business and having seen many good men die because of it.

I agree with your assessment of the front porch and that little back end addition. But remember there is probably an asbestos mitigation element for the interior plaster as well. Exterior siding only and I would do it all myself. If the interior comes into play then I will probably leave it to...

If asbestos were not involved it could be (could, not would) could be one possibility. But asbestos is involved. Life is too short to save just a couple of bucks.

And the two together were expotentionally deadly.

Steve McQueen only breathed it for four years.

Actually, I'd rather be near the nuclear waste as long as it's underwater. The asbestos will continue to become airborne and deadly if it is merely demolished and left there.

LOL, I love it.

Just so everyone understands, I will be doing this by the book. I just have to read the book! I have a professional environmental advisor lined up to advise me. This will be done correctly. I am fully aware I just can't go in and bulldoze the place over the weekend and walk away. There is some...

Thanks, but I want bare land. By bare land, this lot is only about 50' x 100', but it connects to my business property next door. I look at it outside my office window. But this physical house is just worn out.

My heart agrees. Much of this highly depends on the asbestos issue and how the city makes me handle it.

That figures, lol.

100% agree, but $500 for a permit???

Yeah, you're right. They are building dumber and dumber idiots today.

Electrical is gone as had the utility remove the power back to their trunk lines. That leaves only water, which will be easy, and the sanitary. The sanitary, ahh, the sanitary. I've been told by demo companies that I need to pay $500 - $600 for a permit and have a professional pull the permit...

I talked with a professional environmental firm yesterday. As a homeowner I have the absolute right to remove the asbestos myself, bag it and then place it in a regular garbage can for the garbage men to pick up on my normal garbage day. The logic is, as I was told by this professional, is that...

I appreciate the information. I must make the clarification that I never mentioned "Meth Lab". Someone else mentioned it, probably in jest after they looked at the condition of the house. It never has been used as a meth lab. I just wanted to make sure we all know the facts. Again, I thank you...

I'll have an update Thursday.

I have a contact in an Environmental firm who I can and will contact before I do anything. Reading the Florida laws and statutes is confusing and difficult - no straight answers. It's best that I discuss with a knowledgeable individual before I take a misstep. I will report back when I am...
