Re: Tearing Down my house. Need advice please

[Guest guest]

Oh no. It is the ONLY place I can rebuild. PPE is not going to be a problem,

but not building

on my lot is.

you are

supposed to bag all the materials and take them to a hazardous waste dump.  It

was also my

understanding that you should NOT rebuild on the same piece of land because the

toxins are

in the soil.  And, as Live suggested, the people who are tearing down the toxic

house should

be wearing PPE (Personal Protective Equipment---basically a HazMat suit and a

special type

of respirator).  Do the experts here agree with these recommendations?  Should

Semco

rebuild on the same piece of land?

My house is at a 33 ft elevation. One of the highest parts of this area.

Actually, there is one of these dome houses on Pensacola Beach and it has stood

during all

the hurricanes, but I don't know if it has had moisture problems.

Someone tried building Hebel Houses for a while here, a concrete type house, but

stopped

when it was discovered concrete actually HOLDS water.

Dade county standards, the South Florida building codes were just adopted here.

Unfortunately, my neighborhood has an architectural review board. It's a cute

neighborhood, but the dome house wouldn't fly. It needs to look " new

victorian " .

The Dutch seem to have their sh*t together when it comes to water control. They

take it

seriously. In fact, the highest paid positions in the Dutch Government are the

people on

the water control boards. Very prestigious position.

I went to Holland when I wasn't quite as ill as I am now, mildly ill then, and

frankly, did not

experience the problems I experience here. Now,.... Venice is another story.

STAY

AWAY.... FAR AWAY...... FAAAARRRRRR AWAY!
