80s bathroom update
Comments (36)You were fortunate Donnae68, did you get it tested? I believe that you can get a sample tested for about $100 or so. Here is an excerpt on it's history: In Australia, asbestos cement materials were first manufactured in the 1920s and were commonly used in the manufacture of residential building materials from the mid-1940s until the late 1980s. During the 1980s asbestos cement materials were phased out in favour of asbestos-free products. From 31 December 2003, the total ban on manufacture, use, reuse, import, transport, storage or sale of all forms of asbestos came into force.

Good luck....See MoreAny advice on renovationg this 1980's bathroom

Comments (21)I’m sure you can convert that space. Just need plumbing and electricity. You will have to get used to walking outside to laundry in all weather. personally I would of left the laundry as part of the bathroom. But I never use a bath.... The way I sort all my colours on the floor of the laundry, and sheets and towels, an outside set up would never work for me. But if it works for you, that is good....See MoreKate
