It was December 1999 and time for Duffey, a toxic substance specialist, to practice the maintenance theories she had been preaching on a building she actually owned. Almost everyone who inspected this didn't think it was worth saving. It was bad. But by then, I'd worked on more than 50 houses, done more than 1,600 asbestos inspections. If anyone is qualified to know whether an old building is worth the expense and trouble of saving, it is Duffey.
Some people make it all so elaborate or scary.
You won't have to worry about all the regulations - and you're safer, too. Duffey began as a receptionist for her company 10 years ago. Duffey estimates she trains 600 people a year, double her business of four years ago. It has a very good future. There is no question a market exists for her product.
