No punds in ten ded.

Asbestos? He as best os with none. (Say it quickly, and it kind of makes sense. I apologise).

There is no asbestos in this ere house. Plenty of termites, rot, and probably a light touch of the death watch beetle. But nasty fibres? None.

Even the experts were confused. They were sure the sheets I had were the nasty grey stuff.

But no, once they’d sealed off the place, and peeled off the sheet, they found it was stamped on the back, “no asbestos.”

Well, that’s a weight off my mind. And several hundred dollars out of my pocket.
