    Asbestos gets a bad rep. As long as you don’t break it apart it’s perfectly safe to have in your home. It does wonders for insulation, fire prevention, it’s super sturdy… You just shouldn’t drill holes in it or break stuff off.

        That rather depends on where you live. In my country it’s been outlawed in construction since 1993. But it’s still present in a lot of homes before that time.
