Layers

Here is what I know:

Layers work wonders for a person if we are discussing clothing (ladies, you know I'm right). Layers in a house are bad. Really, really bad. Until this weekend my worst experience with bad layering was peeling back one layer of old wallpaper to find an even older layer behind it. However, as we removed the old aluminum siding we found not one, but two layers of additional siding behind it. Add to it that the middle layer is asbestos (which is basically a four-letter word in my real estate world) and we have a long weekend. The aluminum siding is mostly off (thanks to Trent). We have two options with the asbestos: leave it and put siding up over it or remove it according to the EPA standards. Both are legal and safe. We have about 10-12 days to decide which way we are going. Thankfully, we have lots of other mini house projects in between to keep us busy (like removing the vines surrounding the base of the house....also known as poison ivy).
