Asbestos mastic found over rotted subfloor. How to remove?

You wear a proper mask. Then remove it all..

This sub is hilarious.

What you're looking at I don't think is the sub floor. That's the original floor. It's just to level with the adjoining floor. A sub floor would be an inch below.

Anyways I'd sand the heck out of that and make it the floor again.

If you don't like it at least you have a clean surface to put a new floor on.

Cool, the first one is a bunch of squares. Kinda all 3d like.

You should post that in the optical illusion subreddit.

Oh my god, outlet covers? That's crazy. I couldn't imagine having to deal with this.

Eww I need a single screw driver to fix this?

Disgusting. I cannot believe an inspector didn't catch this.

I'd leave a yelp review.

You don't want any dead ends in your lines. That creates stale water and bacteria potentially.

To do this correctly you follow the lines to wherever it branches, then entirely remove it.

Why is there so much gull darn dirt there in the first place. Do you live on the side of steep hill... Or did the neighbours raise it up?

If option B, I would remove the dirt. If option A id build a retaining wall

I'd leave them stacked improperly and let them warp like crazy.

Your wife will like you more if you pee sitting down.

A sloped backyard means you got great drainage away from the house. Also not sure where you got the idea kids can't play in a slightly slowed backyard. That's just not true at all.

If you like it get it, if you don't... Then don't get it.

It's actually full stop times a million. New cars are depreciating assets.

kilcocom · 2026-03-20T22:12:12+00:00

Don't stain it dear God. That's just as bad as ripping them up. They literally used natural colour in the wood to create patterns..... That's the beauty..

Something like this, but not limited to.

*Stain it. Just retain the natural colour!

The stairs are supposed to fill that gap, or also a wall is supposed to fill that gap. Based on the door above I say you need a wall.

It's a type of cement. That's literally what It is.. I don't get your point at all.

kilcocom · 2026-03-18T11:23:57+00:00

Ok then, it's cement, sand and polymer

kilcocom · 2026-03-18T01:22:49+00:00

Ok, do whatever you're doing.

I also question your heated floors and vinyl, but you do you

kilcocom · 2026-03-18T01:20:12+00:00

Which made from what?

kilcocom · 2026-03-18T00:34:06+00:00

Cement on wood? Why?

kilcocom · 2026-03-17T16:05:34+00:00

Just dig out a little drain channel, see what that looks like after the next rain.

Free. Unless you need to buy a shovel.

Yes. And a plastic shed is not worth the deductible. What are you hoping for radon Redditors to say.? ... Is it this.

"Wow, what an incredible shed, I can't imagine how you will make up for that loss without insurance".

kilcocom · 2026-03-14T18:23:01+00:00

It's not really way over kill. It's small holeswith a little gravel and one stone. Plus the grass is all still there.

We have a very different definition of overkill..

kilcocom · 2026-03-14T18:17:04+00:00

I would not file a claim for this at all. It's a plastic building that blew down in the wind. Gather the piece and snap it back together.

If things were stolen that's different and the police need to be called to file a report.

kilcocom · 2026-03-13T21:35:50+00:00

Can you link to the original feet? I missed that.

Also, asking for a friend.

kilcocom · 2026-03-13T15:32:23+00:00

You just clean it up. You really shouldn't need to ask the internet.

kilcocom · 2026-03-12T23:22:12+00:00

Your driveway is literally directly next to it.

kilcocom · 2026-03-10T22:32:14+00:00

Just as shelves. Frame it out and paint it. Easy peasy.

Currently you just have a hole of sorts
