So did this tank turn out to be asbestos or not?

Also, here's a recent story about an asbestos tank, a plumber, and a fine. Suppose this here thread is as good-a-place as any to post it.

Unknown at the moment..... its untouched as we speak.

Latest news is that the neighbour is refusing to allow any scaffold to hang over his property at the side.

We now only have a clearence of 970mm for scaffolding

(Standard small lengths are 1.2m I think)

So we are restricted on access space to move the unit from the back of the house around to the front of the house.

Will keep you posted on how things develop....
