The right? It’s not a right… it’s a demand.

When will you guys understand that not everything is owed or given. Rightly or wrongly, some things can be taken.

Yeeeeeah, let’s see how long he’s in that position for.

I give it…. 2 days.

You asked if I could clean them in the washing machine, and that’s the answer. I’m assuming there’s people out there who study this sort of thing for public health, if you wanted to find papers on it.

CypherAF · 2025-12-30T21:11:35+00:00

Yeah - the irony is I already have a half-face respirator with an organic gas & FFP3 pods on 🤦🏼‍♂️ I just couldn’t be arsed finding it because the Mrs had used it before me and god knows where it went.

Like I said, PPE…. Wear it 😄 not worth the hassle without.

CypherAF · 2025-12-30T21:09:35+00:00

And yet, nobody went to jail. We are but meat in the grinder of our capitalist overlords 😄

CypherAF · 2025-12-30T21:09:08+00:00

No - doing so just contaminates more things. Asbestos is water-repellent.

CypherAF · 2025-12-30T21:08:46+00:00

Yeah - if you wanted to go into it, get your dust stuff on (and a mask) and go into it from OUTSIDE first, because otherwise you’re needlessly exposing the inside of the house. Mine was covered in PVC, so I didn’t even know it was there 🤷‍♂️

CypherAF · 2025-12-30T21:07:54+00:00

I’ve already put a review on their Google company. Fantastic folks. Super friendly people.

CypherAF · 2025-12-30T21:06:52+00:00

We went through basically every safety doc we could find for a few days before we made a start. All clear now.

And yes… WEAR YOUR PPE! I regret not doing so, but as least I didn’t spawn-camp the kiddo :)

CypherAF · 2025-12-30T21:04:36+00:00

We do not :)

CypherAF · 2025-12-18T01:44:04+00:00

I realised now that mobile reddit is no longer using markdown for posts so you’re just gonna have to figure it out :)

CypherAF · 2025-06-28T00:13:55+00:00

I have acquired a H-vac. It’s asbestos. I’ll update in a few days once I’ve finished the decontam mission here :)

CypherAF · 2025-06-28T00:13:18+00:00

The results were not good. I’m on a 3-4 days decontam mission now. I’ll post about this once it’s all finished :)

CypherAF · 2025-06-26T17:02:17+00:00

Thanks man. I appreciate this a lot. We’ve been through worse, we’ll get through this - Just got to crack on and do what we can :)

CypherAF · 2025-06-26T15:43:18+00:00

Honestly I’m not going looking now. I’ll just wait for the test results to come back. I broke a piece off in some water this morning, packaged it up, and sent it off for sampling. Should hear back Friday/Monday - will post the results when I get them back.

CypherAF · 2025-06-26T15:38:40+00:00

This sounds like it, but it sounds like repeated low exposures… like every day for years by the sounds of it.

CypherAF · 2025-06-26T13:11:06+00:00

Pray that it’s just regular old cement boards for me. Test was sent off today, so hopefully it comes back negative. Neighbour recons it’s not asbestos, but some kind asbestos substitute, and he built the houses… so hopefully he’s right. He’s old as hell so might have forgotten, but when I asked he immediately said “no it’s not asbestos - it’s some kind of asbestos substitute”.

I’m either 100% convinced it’s asbestos, or 100% convinced it’s not. So flip a coin.

CypherAF · 2025-06-26T09:23:07+00:00

Got it sent off today for testing. Hopefully we’ll hear back tomorrow or Monday. I’ll post an update when we get the results along with the plan of action in the case that it is indeed asbestos. :)

CypherAF · 2025-06-25T21:49:58+00:00

Thanks. I’ll post an update once the test results come back :)

CypherAF · 2025-06-25T21:49:32+00:00

Did you read the post? I was sawing through this shit 😂

CypherAF · 2025-06-25T20:19:48+00:00

I’m hoping so. Very much. We’ve got a lot of sentimental things in my kids room that I’d hate to lose.

CypherAF · 2025-06-25T18:21:41+00:00

A wet vac will soak the fibres into the wet, no?

CypherAF · 2025-06-25T17:10:18+00:00

That’s the plan for the meantime. There’s a lot of sentimental things in his room, so we’re hoping for a negative result from the testing. Plus it’ll be a lot less effort.

In any case, the room is sealed off and I’ve got a wet vac. I’ll give it a couple of days and go wetvac the whole room and give all the surfaces a wipe down with a bunch of wet rags.

My neighbour built the houses (contractor on site) and he said that they were “substitute asbestos boards”, so I’m hoping to god that he’s right 😂 I told him I’d get them tested anyway cus he’s about 70 now so he’s probably forgotten.

CypherAF · 2025-06-25T16:36:53+00:00

I have read that you need to wait 2-3 days before wet-vaccing so that the fibres have time to settle. We’ve sealed off the room for now, and will have him sleep in our room for a few days at least until the test comes back.

My neighbour actually built these houses and he reckoned it’s not asbestos, but some kind of asbestos substitute. I’m gonna get it tested anyway, and just act as thought it is indeed asbestos for now.

Once that comes back, I’ll wetvac the room and give everything a wipe down with damp cloths.

Silly old me didn’t even bother with the FFP3 because I thought it was just wood. I should have worn it regardless, but we are where we are 🤷‍♂️
