So i just bought a new house. well, new to me. its a 1957. i collect old signs and all kinds of 50's diner style stuff. so i wanna do my kitchen diner style. there is carpet in the kitchen now. so me and my roomate started to pull it back gettin ready to clean it up and lay black and white checkered tile. we pull the first section back and find some old green tile under the carpet. definitely 50s looking. im thinkin its old asbestos tile. im on a budget and was planning on layin some stick on or excelon tile down. but now we find this old tile under the carpet and that sucks. for me and the bank account. has anyone here ever removed asbestos tile themselves? i know its cancer causing and pretty serious but is that prolonged exposure to it? or will doin one 200 square foot kitchen be bad? we are thinking about getting some tievak suits, goggles, respirators, and hang plastic containment on the walls and ceiling and just doing it ourselves. any input would be greatly appreciated.
