What To Do When you Find Asbestos

[@pwhsbuild]

For activating the Festool vac with a cordless tool- I installed the bluetooth module in my vac (very easy to do) then instead of putting the dongle/remote on the hose, I put it in my shirt pocket where I can press it on or off through the shirt.

[@AehreWemAereGebuehrt]

Good to hear that you seem to take asbestos as seriously as it is supposed to. Stay strong for the hard times to come with Covid19.

[@galvanizedgnome]

New world order crimson contagion

[@yusephB]

Hey love the videos just FYI The top “feet”come apart and you can clip the plastic sheet in to the top of the zip poles then just tape it to the walls it makes it super easy

[@kristianhodges1]

In full lockdown here in the UK you stay safe and healthy Scott.. And look forward to more videos from yourself

[@piee683]

You are not in full lockdown

[@tuetis]

Just finished watching every single video on this channel. Took a couple of weeks, but thank you for having such an incredible channel!

[@caveweta]

We will get through this, we’ve got fantastic leadership. Kia kaha Scott, stay well

[@chrisblurton6117]

Here in Edinburgh were also in lockdown as of yesterday. Stay safe mate, we can earn more money but can’t buy our health. Looking forwards to future videos when it’s safe to do so 👍🏻

[@rosco1752]

Same here I’m from Glasgow, it’s creepy how quite it is but it’s better that way stay safe everyone👌🏻

[@SebastiaanMollema]

Scott, everybody, be safe! And make the best of it!

[@stuartoughton7845]

I love the passion you have for your work. I sensed you was almost in tears at the fact that you are in lockdown. Its heart breaking that some small businesses will go under as they can't get work

[@fanaticz666]

That is the sad thing about small business during the lockdown. Everyone is crying about mcdonalds and kfc and can't wait for them to open, but as soon as this has been lifted im going straight to the local takeaways instead to help them survive.

[@CharlesKiblinger]

As I'm sure you know: Hand sanitizer = soap + water x 9999 times a day. Wipes = approx. 1:10 ratio laundry bleach:water + rag in a ziploc. Very best wishes to you from Seattle!

[@LaurenCccc]

Right now there is a big sheet of asbestos in the middle of my neighbourhood and no one wants to move it and people had made several complaints about it. Good video by the way!

[@lukemperez]

Kind of surreal to watch this 3 months to the day later, having recently discovered this channel while searching for DIY stuff. Just like that, the regular stuff didn’t matter and we all went home for lock-down.

[@jorgenfischer]

Keep the videos comming through this covid-19 period man! I've been following you for a while from Norway, and you make awesome content!

[@Asientabs]

Lol should he vlog from home? He will have a hard time creating content and making money with his job. So maby it's time for a little payback from us to him ;)

[@BearKire]

​@@Asientabs Personally I would not mind some different videos from Scott. He is a interesting man, and could easily make some videos about his van, tools, tips and tricks and so on. Heck, I even wouldn't mind a home tour. I will still support him though. Stay safe!

[@theessentialguideforblokes7960]

Hey Scott, take care sir. We are all thinking of small business owners and self employed. Down here in Dunedin the whole town is small businesses. I’ve been so busy trying to get my customers ready in the past 48 hours, your video was the first chance I had to really think about how it’s affecting us, nearly started crying man. Keep posting the videos I’ll be playing them round the clock in support.

[@benprice8383]

Hey scott big fan here from Christchurch During my isolation I'm going to learn Japanese furniture joins thanks to you! If you have anymore videos of it I would love to get more tips! Cheers!

[@benjackson4322]

Good to see you doing the right thing about asbestos mate. I'm an apprentice in Australia and working on a building site where asbestos is all over the place: fragmented, pulverised, you name it. No precautions being taken. Really makes me angry.

[@deckieg1]

I just gave you your first google maps review and I have never met you,,, your work is impeccable

[@derekleggett7336]

In my area of the US, a homeowner can remove asbestos in a single family residence only. Commercial and multi family removal has to be completed by a certified abatement specialist

[@Kakwann]

there is a city literaly named Asbestos 1.5 hour from me. Hi from Montreal, Canada! a quick trick with vinyle tiling here. 9x9 tiles almost all contain asbestos. old 8x8, 10x10 and 12x12 can also countain some... but its pretty rare. there is asbestos often on old plumbing insolation. the absolute worst is insolation (as when its removed its quite volatile) Vinyle-Asbestos Tiling is not the end of the world. :) there is quite a lot of Asbestos in old Quebec buildings here... don't panic, its gonna be alright :)

[@saltys5528]

good man for getting it checked! life’s too important

[@chrisdupont1195]

Take care and stay safe. It's been 7 days of full lockdown here in Belgium (10 days since they closed down pubs and restaurants). My appartment has never been that clean...

[@justgregnow]

Love that drop in router spot on your table 👍

[@richardbrailsford5047]

England was the same with panic buying. Think I’ve watch all the vids love how you set the scenery at the beginning of the vids. Awesome van set up too

[@williammcdonald6452]

Those people buying 70 bottles are the crazy ones. A funny incident with some of the crazy people who bought a huge amount of stock, they tried to return it because they couldn't afford and woolworths refused because its a sanitary problem now.

[@nevyn6071]

Hi I bumped into you about a month ago and showed you my AWS receivers. You don't need to make both chips flash green. Just press the one on the saw till it flashes blue then you are good to go. The one down side is if you have multiple tools or vacuums all the ones that are paired will start. You can use this to your advantage though by putting a y junction on the vacuum and running 2 hoses if the tools them selves have good extraction. I do this on my dropsaw and skill saw.

[@Hibbo89]

Hi from lockdown in the UK.....I made a bench for the garden today....will shortly be running out of decent wood though

As someone who is self employed, I’ll just leave your videos playing on loop..

[@darlanocn]

I am an apprentice from Queenstown, also in lockdown. Cant donate, but will keep rewatching your videos while I do some studying into my BCITO books. Stay safe bro

[@jeffchandler5520]

Really enjoy the Vids, We we into voluntary shelter in place for a few weeks in the Midwest US. It got real faster than everyone thought. Stay safe everyone. It will be over soon.

[@samboon6017]

Those top plates on the zip wall actually are a 2 piece design. Pop them apart and put the plastic in-between so the rubber on the plate still grips the ceiling.

[@Wairoakid]

Stay well Scott. Doing your bit to keep NZ safe. Don't forget to apply for the subsidy as a self-employed person. Builders are allowed to get stuff from trade stores such as Bunnings, Mitre 10 for a specific purpose. From the Covid 19 website "Bunnings, Placemakers, Mitre 10 and other retailers essential to the supply chain for building and construction can stay open to trade customers for essential purposes only".

[@buddybear3120]

I thought in NZ you can remove up to 10m2 of asbestos yourself, as long as you follow the correct safety measures. Disposable overalls, gloves, goggles and correct respirator. All asbestos is kept wet while removal and double bagged in thick pioythene, tapping all joints and disposing rubbish to an approved site

[@Atmironov]

I'm on lock down here in California too. Stay safe! For your zip wall, don't bother with the plywood on the ceiling. You can stretch the plastic super tight with just the poles. Its a lot simpler than trying to get anti split on the plywood then have that pinched against the ceiling. Its a great system.

[@Mike-ox8yc]

I've been enjoying watching your channel. I'm a builder in Los Angeles. Thanks for all the links to cool tools! I'm a Milwaukee man, but love that Makita track saw! IF I ever do videos myself I'll wear a smoko time t-shirt and give you a shout out👍-Mike

[@default9740]

Sobering video Scott, wishing you and yours luck in riding this out. Like you, I have older family members at great risk, and my kids are stressing out over them. Worrying times.

[@vwvanagon]

Stay safe Scott and try to enjoy the time off!

[@pierevojzola9737]

Hard to enjoy the time off when I can’t even go fishing! The worst part is that the brown trout have just started their seasonal runs up our rivers and the reports are that this year there are some big fish running up the Tongariro River. Harera.

[@anand8905]

[@whippetgang8567]

I have always taken two Asbestos samples (in different area's), optimum 25mm square (as per my labs requirements) , I've seen Big 6 roof return a negative results, doubting the results of someone's else's test I retested only to find a positive result, and I always used contractors to remove it. Take care and all the best 👍

[@mattharrison9550]

So what's the company name that gave you false testing findings? Rule of thumb. Anything from early 1900s till 2000 believe it or not can contain asbestos. They slowly started to faze it out in 80s but was still not law .

[@michaelplays2449]

Hi scott Im from Ireland we had the panic buying things do settle down but life has changed social distance, hand washing, No schools and peoples futures uncertain.The fact that this is a global problem im sure there will be collective effort by all nations to find a vaccine and a economic solution to the problem facing the world at present.I really enjoy your videos keep them coming if at all possible On a happier note i took collection of a new Makita saw the other day the rear handle 36v you reviewed, im delighted with it.I also bought some timber and i hope to get some projects completed while the restrictions are in place.Thanks again for the video Stay Safe

[@jaredshepherd6397]

Hey Scott. The worry and uncertainty was pretty clear on your face at the end there. I know because I was feeling the same way as a fellow small business owner in NZ. Good luck with the lockdown and stay safe. I look forward to seeing your videos again on the the other side.

[@jasonthomas6072]

Hey brother. Hope you’re safe. I’ve been keeping your videos on constant loop all week

[@Fsavulich]

Good job; next time, make sure to sample the mastic (glue) which is usually beneath vinyl tile, as that is often suspect for asbestos too. If that is asbestos, then the layers above it have to be treated as asbestos material as there is no way to remove everything else and the glue layer without disturbing the glue

[@foreman3737]

Yea, hand sanitizer is hard to come by. I work in property maintenance over here in Finland and we've been spreading sand the whole winter on icy walkways and parking lots, and now that the spring is early it's time to clear the sand. That gets very dusty and we're in dire need of dust masks, and surprise, there aren't any on shelves.

Have you seen the Bluetooth remote for the festool vacs? It is #202097. Seems silly to put in a Remote for my vac that puts the power switch next to the nozzle but man it makes it so much easier when your turning it off and on all day. I especially use it with my cordless Mikita track saw since the power through the vac won’t turn it on. Call me lazy but it is great.

Hey Scott Regarding the asbestos: what if the owner would go in the house after a hours and remove the asbestos, out it in a bag, lock it and put it in the waste bin? Meanwhile he gives the area a good vacuum and you cannot see anything when you arrive the next day. When I lived in Upper Hutt I knew of builders who would do it in that way and let the owner go to the tip with renovation waste and dump their trailer full of rubbish. One checked it and for $25 you were done and dusted compared to your $3000 and more.

[@DiscoFang]

80 containers of hand sanitizer is not hoarding, that's surely intended for selling online at inflated prices. Funny thing about that guys doing similar things in the States are being both stopped by Amazon & EBay and some are being criminally prosecuted. Turns out price gouging is illegal.

[@gs5480]

Hey Scott, looks like that house has a down pipe feeding into an ORG at 1:03. It's illegal for stormwater to drain into sewer. Since you're remodeling that house you may as well have your plumber take a look at next time he's there. Stay safe during lockdown bro.

[@rlm5853]

@@MsElijah16 Overloads the sewers so if we had big rain and all the rain water went into the sewers it would flood them and put sewerage into the streets, but it was common back in the day so if it is original then its not illegal and only needs updating if a building consent requires to my knowledge. That unit of mine you visited had the exact same thing.

Intact asbestos is safe, powered asbestos is unsafe. If you are leaving it in place you can spray it with some acrylic paint in a spray bottle to encapsulate the fibers. Worksafe have a full worksheet about it. It also sets out who can do what type and amount of work. Often removing it is more dangerous than leaving it alone as you create dust. That said I got rid of it. ARENZ in Mt Wellington sell all the gear and heavy bags and even hire the right cleaner. I found them awesome. Only issue was the mask gave me a hell of a saw throat as it dries out all the air as well as removing fibers.
