Hello, Long story short cleaning out my Mom's house we discovered that she was letting her dog just pee on a towel in the laundry room. The towel (she would wash and change out) was against the back outside door and in a certain area of the door the paint has been removed where I would suspect the dog was peeing. Is there anything paint, chemicals, I can use to save that door and to almost pee proof it? Like waterproof it. We are going to try to her to stop but she is set in her ways. Thanks in-advance for any tips. D

I recently started a kitchen renovation. My house was built in 1961 and the walls were covered with sheetrock then paper to make the seams smooth I believe. While bringing down a wall some of the paper from the ceiling ripped off with the sheetrock. Since I knew asbestos was still used in those days I figure I would play it safe and get a few things tested. Everything came back clean with the exception of the joint compound from the paper. It ended up containing 2% chrysotile asbestos. I am now faces with a few options but do not know what path I should take. My first option would be to use get an asbestos rated mask, disposable suit, and take to it myself with a spray bottle to reduce the dust as I use a drywall saw to take everything down. However, I am worried for my health and my families health with this option since it would be the first time I am doing such a thing. The other option is to just hire someone to remove it all. While I can imagine the cost would be high, I would have peace of mind. I wanted to post this here just get the communities feedback on doing this myself. Would you recommend I take this on solo? If you do what are some good precautions I should take and how should I even approach doing this? I already have the area sealed off as and will even seal it off a bit more later on. Any advice or stories of your own DIY removal would be beneficial in helping me figure out what to do next.
