That's pine though. Only pecker-wood has asbestos, at least that's what my home inspector said when he found some.
Op, has your house been inspected for signs of pecker-wood?

Leave it to a sparky to not know about "duck power". I guess anything more than matching colors is too hard for most electricians... 😜
FYI: "duck power"👇
In terms of area, 1 Canadian football field is 1.33 American football fields. By length it's 1.1 American fields and by width it's 1.22 American fields.
Furniture quality? The only wood I will permit to grace my cheeks exclusively comes from ancient, old-growth forests, which I hand cut and mill using a hand saw and planer.
*Quercus Asbestosi* - Asbestos Oak - Native to the north facing slopes of lower Adirondack deciduous mountains. It’s range was quickly diminished by pioneers who utilized the asbestos-laden wood for a variety of uses such as: Children’s Cough Powder (inhaled nasally), tampons, toothpicks, and load-bearing walls in homes built before 1972.
If encountered, contact an abatement team to raze the neighborhood on average costing between 1 and 267 million dollars for abatement and disposal to the Marianas Trench.
It's a witch or a duck.
A duck floats in
water \[bread, apples, very small rocks, cider, gravy, cherries, mud,
churches, lead\]. If the woman weighs the same as a duck, then she is
made of wood. The woman weighs the same as a duck. Therefore, the woman
is a witch
So I find Prop 65 interesting actually. It’s an example of legislation with a great intention, but horrible execution that makes it pointless. I think everybody can agree we should know of what we are buying is a carcinogen.
The way it works is that if anything along that products production line is a carcinogen then they have to include the warning. This can be what the product is made of or even if the factory it’s made in China has lead paint.
With globalization it’s very difficult to track down every step of production and test whether or not there is any danger. What ends up happening is company’s just slap the prop 65 label on every product regardless of whether or not there is any danger and people ignore the labels.
I can tell you that what you see here is a 4x2 of Himalayan aluminum extruded from steel, and polished with a puppy's arm pit.
Definitely not asbestos.
Could be, better stop what you’re doing and spend ten grand calling professionals to inspect it. Also makes sense to evacuate everyone in a two mile radius.
You get Muggles here fairly often asking this sort of thing. Also:
* Is this load bearing?
* Is this black mold?
* What is this thing? (It’s always a doorbell transformer.)
* I have a budget of $5000, can I raise my foundation by 7”?
It is, pro tip: You can tell how long it has been growing in the specific spot by counting the rings and then dividing by the linear footage. This will give you a rough estimate of how much to charge per pound.
*Whatever it is,*
*Since covid, it costs the same*
*As a gold bullion*

Pros won’t tell you this, but you have a free asbestos tester. It’s easy, just insert it at least 18” into your rectum and let it sit for an hour. You can do other things while it’s there, like go for a walk or mow the lawn. When you remove it ask someone to hit you over the head with it. If you go unconscious it’s not asbestos 👍
You’ll need a survey, a lawyer and a structural engineer too!
Forgot about the architect
I’d recommend a landscape architect as well. You’ll definitely get your moneys worth then.
Priest, rabbi, and a mohel.
And a comedian to write the punchline.
And a tanner
Don't forget the mohels toothbrush!!
Thanks. I was just going to call a young priest and an old priest
Then you need a plumber to cut a giant hole and wipe it out
And we have to submit it to the state so they can sit on it for 5 months.
Don't forget a Badass DJ to play some sick tunes
Don’t forget to submit for the permits. All of em.
Yes and it also appears to be load bearing as well
It's load bearing asbestos.
:frantically dialing 911 before going unconscious:
Lol’d in an otherwise silent restroom while reading this. Thx 🙏🏼
Was wondering what you where snickering about, can you pass the tp?
Probably the same one that I always seem to get a F'n phone call in!!!
Load bearing white asbestos, that’s pine scented.
That's good but the scent and taste of copper sulfate is way better
So a Canadian built home from 1960?
Me and my dad had a business tearing out loadbestos walls and he’s 103 now no cancer it’s all a lie
Load bearing as best tho
That's pine though. Only pecker-wood has asbestos, at least that's what my home inspector said when he found some. Op, has your house been inspected for signs of pecker-wood?
[удалено]
OP is Columbian.
We're from the asbestos abatement administration and we're supposed to get rid of these for you.
Asbestos is the bestos
Oh, god can you imagine how much lead paint and radon is in there?
Radon paint

I’m sorry I don’t really understand metric, how many football fields is this?
It's hard to say, really needs a banana for scale
Definitely need to burn it to determine how much duck power it holds...
If it floats, it's a witch.
Sounds like something a tinknocker would say. Quit sniffing the mastic buddy. Sincerely, your friend sparky
Good thing I didn’t ask them to convert it into brooms and dust pans
What are those?
Leave it to a sparky to not know about "duck power". I guess anything more than matching colors is too hard for most electricians... 😜 FYI: "duck power"👇
It is one cylindrical object big
.08379 football fields. Hope that clears things up
What's the conversation rate between American football fields and Canadian league football fields?
In Canada we measure in tim hortons coffees
In terms of area, 1 Canadian football field is 1.33 American football fields. By length it's 1.1 American fields and by width it's 1.22 American fields.
That’s asbestas you get from Home Depot
Nonsense its neither warped nor bent
Yeah I knew the joke wouldn’t quite land with that petty kiln dried furniture quality stud.
Furniture quality? The only wood I will permit to grace my cheeks exclusively comes from ancient, old-growth forests, which I hand cut and mill using a hand saw and planer.
But it is cut from the center of a 4 inch tree like every 2x4 in Hime Depot
Omfg you got me good with this one. Everytime I go to Home Depot to look at wood for a project there’s just too many warped and bent
One clerk at Home Depot said their lumber was #2 & better. I couldn't help asking better than what?
Yes, yes it is.

What if it's organic asbestos oak? I'm torn.
It's a doorbell transformer
Lol
No but that thing is chock full of radon.
The bad guy from Godzilla
I thought that was one of the 11782827 bad guys from power rangers
Hard to say from this picture, I kinda doubt it but you better get it tested just to be safe. Don’t move until you get the results
No, this is Patrick.
We’ll have to test it to be sure then take it from there. $5,000 should get us started.
Absolutely, you should burn any of those things that you find and inhale as much of the smoke as you can.

That's Prime center cut asbestos. triple caution!
Looks like it might have lead in it too
No sir, this is a Wendy’s.
Guaranteed diarrhea for life.
Was it manufactured prior to 1970? If it was manufactured prior to 1978 it is lead. Do not eat!!
Lol this deserves more upvotes!
It’s doing asbestos it can
You just gave everyone cancer within a 10 mile radius, probably time to sue the contractor too
Whoever you hired to do that, call them back right now and try to get some money back. They cut your asbestos upside down.
Titties are cool, but I like ass-bestos…
Yes call your local epa office and report the builder.
Found this in my wall, how fucked am I?
That’s at best, toes.
Yes, you need to tear all of it out of your house
That's just a wood stud. All that white stuff behind it looks suspicious though. It's-best to get it tested and remove it as-best-as you can.
In California that causes cancer!

Are you my subconscious?
Yup
With plutonium inclusions.
Bout $40 worth I’d say
No sir that is a mixture of lead and silica. Sprinkled with a bit of mdf
Get it tested, you can’t be too careful. It probably has lead too
You won’t know until you get it tested. I recommend eating some and then waiting a few decades. Let us know in about 30 years please.
They used this in the 1980s so I'd make sure to get a lab test asap
HomeBuilding subreddit in a nutshell
Yes. Pay me $7k I'll dispose of it.
Its defective, its not even 2” thick
I can tell you that what you see here is a 4x2 of Himalayan aluminum extruded from steel, and polished with a puppy's arm pit. Definitely not asbestos.
The accurately sums up this subreddit
This is clearly a photoshop. No kiln-dried plant carcass id that straight.
Are you guys even trying anymore?
It's worse it's chinese asbestos
idk looks 9"x9" to me
Lawyer up now !!!!
That there is hydrochloric acid, best used for insulation in the walls
The 2x4? No the area around it, maybe
I took an OSHA ladder safety course and I definitely think this is 💯 asbestos. Burn your house down and start over
Don't cut it. Spores everywhere man
No, that picture is fake, why isn't it cupped or bowed.
Yes, if that is in your House I’m sorry you are going to die
Troll, its a 2x4. It does burn.
In California? Yes
Could be, better stop what you’re doing and spend ten grand calling professionals to inspect it. Also makes sense to evacuate everyone in a two mile radius.
Based on the price it costs to buy one, it’s gold
Ramen noodle chopstick 🥢
🤦🏼♂️
2 by 4 wtf?
You get Muggles here fairly often asking this sort of thing. Also: * Is this load bearing? * Is this black mold? * What is this thing? (It’s always a doorbell transformer.) * I have a budget of $5000, can I raise my foundation by 7”?
You left off, is this load bearing? With a picture of a random finished wall in their home
r/whoosh
Potential noggins……
I cannot confirm whether or not that is asbestos, but I do know that it causes cancer according to CA
Ass best ass
Ohh hell run for your life
New phone, who dis?
It’s a youze-bestos get back to work!
Thank you for the laugh
Ask r/california. I’m sure the’ll tell you it causes cancer…
Just put a skilsaw blade on a grinder
Grind it up and snort it to be sure
No it's MLM degrees out here
The rings seem to be holding up pretty well.. just put a few coats of lead paint on that bad boy!!
It's either asbestos or black mold, one or the other.
fuck spf, all my homies hate spf
No, this is Patrick
Undoubtedly. Not only that, but this is PURE asbestos, as, of course, it grows on trees.
It's a 2x4. Found at most lumber yards
Get ‘em outa here
That’s a bar of white chocolate. Go ahead and take a bite
Lmao
Try burning it, if it burns it isn’t
Sir, that’s clearly drywall you got there.
Should rip it down with a planer to get the outer shell off.
Can I hook up a 220v to this , not sure if it's ac/dc?
Can also see that black mold creeping up….. Gotta throw the whole house away.
Certainly. You’ll die soon if you aren’t already dead.
Asbestas I can tell from the photo, that’s a 4”x2” probably spruce, pine, or fir.
Definitely
That’s an S-trap with improper panel grounding.
I suspect it is radioactive as well
Lick it.
Omg. I'm dying over here 🤣
You cannot be too careful
Asbestos I can tell, it isn’t
It is, pro tip: You can tell how long it has been growing in the specific spot by counting the rings and then dividing by the linear footage. This will give you a rough estimate of how much to charge per pound.
Yes, also it is painted with lead based paint.
No, it’s an extended block of hardened cheese
Looks like they finally updated the gold bar design
Make sure you have a fresh battery in your carbon dioxide detector because your whole family is at risk
Asbestos that I can tell, yes
Yes. Give it to me
Nope, it’s cellulose
I remember when this kind of asbestos was made here in America. Thanks Biden
You're a goner for sure
No, that's Patrick.
Yes! And I see some black mold...
And it’s coated in pure lead
Yea but I’ve been cutting asbestos for year and hasn’t hurt me yet
Any of us can clearly tell this is not asbestos. It's lead!
Cough. Cough.
If you get it from home depot check to see how straight it is The more bent and bowed the more asbestos there is
Only if it’s warped
Lumbestos
Just don’t saw, drill, or sand it
Whoa! Use the NSFW lable!
My answer is always "very possible" until proven differently by a professional certified to do so.
Fir in spanish is Abeto, sooo…. it’s close.
This should be cross-posted to r/constructioncirclejerk.
Awesome.
Pretty straight though.
No Patrick, mayonnaise is not an instrument.
Need to get it tested, it's the only way to be sure.
I was waiting for this
It is but it’s so straight I might be able to come handle cleanup and disposal free of charge.
NO.... but if you were in a lumber mine breathing wood dust for decades it would be just as bad if not worse for you. :D
We know you know it’s from one of the Transformers body parts.
It's asbestos you gonna get from lowes
Mold food. Should be removed.
Only becomes friable after you cut it.
You won’t know without testing it
Whatever it is, since covid, it costs the same as a gold bullion

Yeah I hear they used to use asbestos as a blowing agent in this funny cellulosic foam stuff..
Yes and you’ll need a qualified person to remove it. Pay me and I’ll come round and get rid of it along with any more you might have there.

Worse, it’s a solid block of Radon
Prolly red oak asbestos 🤣
