Decorating & Remodeling - November 2006

I recently removed some drywall from the early 70s from a small bathroom. It may have contained asbestos (at least the compound might have?). Any idea what the risk to me is in doing this? Will asbestos particles float around in my home for eternity!

im looking for some ideas how to store toys so that they are easy to take out when my children (under 4) want to play and easy to put away when they are done. They hv lots of toys which are scattered all over the place esp the ones which have small parts.
Will the open shelving system in their play room work? thanks in advance.

I bought 5 inch round mirrors at the dollar store. I think their original purpose was as trivits, but they look just like the ones in designer Magazines. They're pretty light, but I don't think poster putty will hold them and I don't want them to fall. They don't have any type of hook on the back to hang them and if I glued one on they wouldn't be flat to the wall.

What can I use that won't wreck the paint?(I live in an apt.) I could put holes in the wall but I want them to look flush with the wall. Is there anything similar to poster putty that isn't damaging?

thanx

The house that i live in was painted before i moved in. Looked beautiful and smooth, over next few months paint started coming off in thick pieces. I think what they did is paint semi-gloss over a gloss paint. It looks terrible but i havent got a lot of money to fix it. Is there a cheap solution that wont leave me exhausted?

My construction project was halted by the NYC Dept. of Environmental Protection after a neighbor complained about asbestos present. The contractor did not realize that asbestos was present and neither did the architect, who at one point certified that asbestos was absent. I as a homeowner did not know that asbestos was present and trusted the contractor or the architect to find out if the substance was present. Is the contractor responsible? He is the one who haphazardly modified the asbestos insulation of the house and did not even realize the asbestos was what it was. The project was ordered to be suspended by the NYC DEP and delayed the remodeling for a couple of weeks and costed me about $10,000 (including filing fees).
