Hello everyone,

I am new here and was a bit surprised at how many topics there are about asbestos. I have read a lot, but as a layperson, I am not getting any further. But that is why I am here after all

My girlfriend and I are currently working on sprucing up her mother's house a bit. After I found some asbestos boards in the attic, I looked into it a bit more and checked where else the stuff might be located. The house was built somewhere around the 60s-70s.

At the moment, I am working on the garden shed and actually had a question about the masonry. While taking photos, some fibers already caught my eye. Honestly, I am now extremely nervous because I have already spent a lot of time in the shed, working and vacuuming

Hard to say, but not fine enough for asbestos. Hold a lighter to it. If it shrivels, then it's glass fibers.

You are allowed to look. Do not lick or nibble!
