The soil vent downpipe was also asbestos and we had to have that removed because of a hole in it and a plant was growing in it. A kind neighbour sorted it out for us after a couple of asbestos companies wouldn't even touch it with a bargepole! Same neighbour said his parents took their own asbestos garage down and have buried it in their garden. They intend to stay in the house until they die, so it will no doubt become someone else's problem. Definitely illegal to do that though, and although the asbestos removal firms charge a pretty penny, they come looking like they're working with radioactive waste, all suited and booted, so need the danger money. Peeve: My brother has plumbing insurance and it has a clause saying they won't deal with asbestos, so that was more money he had to fork out. Edited July 13, 2023 by Marigold Devin The old asbestos down pipe now lives inside the asbestos garage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess when your number's up your number's up, and we shouldn't really worry too much about what can kill us, because what WILL kill us is hiding behind a tree sn iggering anyway.

That's interesting how our aftercare instructions differ so wildly. It was my first procedure and they emphasized that I avoid nuts, green roughage, booze, etc. so I don't irritate the scabs in my colon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't like the thought of plastics, I've read so much disturbing stuff about them. It depends a bit on what you're going to do with it, I use cast iron pans pretty much exclusively (people who complain about stuff sticking just don't know how to season and maintain it!). For pots I prefer copper as it's excellent for even heat distribution (being very conductive) and since it's lined with tin you don't have to worry about getting copper in your food (and unlike tin used for welding or casting tin soldiers, that often contains around 20% lead, pure tin has a very high smelting point, and tin is pretty much harmless as our bodies just can't absorb it in any large amounts). For stews and acidic sauces (such as Bolognese) the best thing you can get is a an enamelled cast iron pot (the acid from tomatoes can burn through the seasoning of a non-enamelled pot and start eating away at the iron, which isn't 'very' bad for your health per se, but it can ruin the flavour). A lot of people praise stainless steel pans as a more user-friendly alternative to cast iron, but again, with acidic foods you can start leeching minerals out of it (and there can be a lot of unhealthy metals in the alloys, or as residue from the production process). The whole 'thing' with a cast iron pan is that you create a coating of carbon and polymerised fat that keeps the food from touching the iron, which is also what helps keeping food from sticking. Polytetrafluorethylene stuff don't get into my kitchen. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
