Repair and Restoration: Make Do and Mend

Hello, my name is Alfred and this is my new blog. I am kind of new to all this internet business. My grandson taught me how to turn on a computer and to use the keyboard and how to navigate the internet. He recently suggested I start a blog but I refused because I didn't have a subject. My dad had always said to me that you should never start writing anything unless you have a subject. My grandson suggested that I write about my passion for repairing and restoring things. I believe we should make do and mend so I have taught myself how to fix many different types of things. I hope you enjoy my blog.

The only solution was to ban the use of such materials. Despite being officially banned, asbestos is still present in most buildings, and property owners using such structures need to come up with an effective asbestos management strategy to minimise risks.

Do You Think Your Building Has Asbestos? Don’t Panic—Call The Professionals

Asbestos is one of the most dangerous things you can find in your home or office, so understandably, if you think you have found some, you will be very anxious. It is important that when in this heightened state of nerves, you do not attempt to remove or clean up the asbestos by yourself. Using a simple face mask and gloves is not an appropriate way to safely dispose of asbestos, no matter what you or your friends and family think. Read More
