Re: Should I....

[(Anonymous)]

Last year when my mom passed away I inherited a house built in 1947, complete with a garage conversion festooned with popcorn ceiling that harbors mold and needs removing.

The room’s about 220 ft sq and there’s a good chance that in addition to the mold it’s full of asbestos. I make ~$1,400/month and the house needs a ton of other work (and new appliances) to be salvageable, most of which I’m pretty sure I can’t do myself.

The electrical wiring is borked in the bathroom and living room, one of the two bathrooms is a not-to-code addition, there’s a hole in the floor under the refrigerator, it needs new windows because the old ones are rotting out of their frames, and probably more I’m forgetting.

But I can scrape and repaint a ceiling, which Inplsn to do if it tests negative for asbestos. If it tests positive for asbestos, should I buy a respirator mask and do it myself, or...?

There is likely a regulation in your area on how to deal with any given kind of asbestos. So long as it's in place, it likely will not be a problem, but I believe messing with it in any way should be done by someone who knows more about it.

(And I come from a long line of fools who would barge in and do it ourselves. But still.)

AYRT—I would leave it, but the room had moisture issues and the popcorn ceiling is moldy and has to come out. I’m just cheap, frustrated that there’s so few home improvement tasks I can do myself, pretty sure that scraping a ceiling if it’s not full of asbestos is something I can do, and (aside from owning a house) poor. And apparently removing it myself is legal, just risky,

Don't fuck with asbestos. Get the pros to take care of it.
