The girl who cried 'asbestos!'

Because I clearly don't have enough things to worry about, I've become convinced that something in the house was made out of asbestos. So, when we first were trying to figure out what was on the walls in the first bedroom, the obvious answer was, 'Asbestos!' When we discovered the linoleum flooring under the carpet in the little bedroom: 'Asbestos!' When L. came down coughing from the loft...Well, you get the picture.

But last night we may have well and truly stumbled upon the lurking asbestos. We were happily pulling tiles off of the fireplace (talk about satisfying), when the conversation took a turn for the worst...

L: 'What's this? Cardboard underneath the fireplace? Those people were crazy.'

Me: 'Cardboard?! But wait, it has shiny flecks...'

Together: 'Asbestos?!'

Pictures to be uploaded later.
