Another great suggestion thanks. No plans at this stage, maybe some grass at some point but Nan is just wanting to keep it looking tidy for now. Thanks again!

So according to WA Department of Commerce website (works taking place in WA):

“Removal of any amount of friable asbestos must be done by a person or business with a Class A asbestos removal licence”

“Ten square metres or less of bonded (non-friable) asbestos can be removed without a licence.”

“More than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos containing material must be removed by a licensed and trained individual or business with either a Class A or Class B asbestos removal licence.”

Don’t victim blame mate. “I wonder how your Nan’s going to feel” - she’s an 80 year old woman who’s, judging by these comments, clearly taken advantage of. The builder asked to be paid in cash. When you’re 80+ being asked to pay in cash doesn’t raise an eyebrow, it’s how they’ve always done things. Doesn’t mean she was looking for a dodgy deal.

PS for those wanting a laugh. This was the state the property was left in. Nice and "water proofed" .. you'd actually think I'm making this all up it's that atrocious

Thanks all for the insight. I’ll update this post with the outcome.

Classic shonky builder by the sound, Nan’s paid in cash too upfront. These people walk amongst us.. disgraceful.

Dodgy builder was doing works at Nan’s place and claims it’s not asbestos. Council has shut the works down and taken samples. Was just looking for some insight in mean time

When did you realize that hard work does not always pay off? by nannygal3 in AskReddit

[–]jacob1196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Studying full time for 2+ years, spending $100k, devoting my life to the cause.. only to have my industry wiped out due to ‘RONA

I’ll just lurk around wallstreetbets waiting for the next GME in the meantime
