"The insurance money was in the bank in which the loan for the house is from.
My banker wanted a bid and a waiver of lien to be given them BUT John Fowler never produced one to me.
My banker also wanted receipts from Fowler and I told Mr Fowler that I needed the waiver signed and all receipts as he buys
any items.  Mr Fowler say OK, but he never signed till the very end and I had to hold money till he did signed it.
As for the receipts, never did he give me any but at the end, he took all at once to the bank to give to them.  I decided to go to the bank and get copies of the receipts but beat him there and so I got a copy plus he got a copy and the bank got the originals.
My banker was great on this as we went over the receipts and I went home and did it again, more then once.
What got me most of all was he kept asking my insurance adjustor what kind of money I was going to get and using my name saying I also wanted to know.  To me, he had no reason to do this, ever.
Fowler charged my insurance for saws of $200.00 and other items plus an account that didn't have any thing to do with me and had no proof that it was plus another account.  All and all, Fowler charged my insurance to pay him $2,588.17.  His bonus money and since he broke our hand shake, didn't get anymore bonus money.
Trust, no way, the work, fine but I had to hold back more money as he didn't finish a few little things that needed to get done and so I had to hold that money just to get his men back.
He said he hates lairs!   He needs to read a dictionary on what a liar is.   I will never use him again for anything and he asked me to allow him to inspect all my rentals as he does that to.  NOPE, can't trust him, hand shake or not, can't trust him.

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

You can cover asbestos siding with another type of siding, such as vinyl, however, this may not be the best option. Covering the asbestos siding may disturb it, releasing fibers into the air. The covered siding can also be disturbed at a later date, such as by a new homeowner who is unaware of its presence.

If you decide to cover the siding, be sure to work with a professional and follow any local building codes and requirements. It may be the case that removing the asbestos siding is the better option, rather than covering it over. 

Asbestos-containing materials are not easily affected by water and do not disintegrate or dissolve when exposed to it. However, porous materials can deteriorate due to water exposure, leading to the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The settling of asbestos fibers can also occur as water makes them heavy, which reduces the risk of airborne exposure, though future disturbance of the materials could cause risk. Wetting asbestos-containing materials does not constitute safe removal, and the proper handling and disposal of asbestos materials should be left to professionals.

In the event of suspected or confirmed asbestos contamination on the body, it is imperative to take immediate measures to reduce health risks. To avoid further exposure, carefully remove contaminated clothing and shower thoroughly to remove any asbestos fibers. Seek prompt medical attention, and inform your healthcare professional about your suspected asbestos exposure. Since asbestos-related health issues can take years to surface, regular medical check-ups are advised for anyone with a history of exposure.

Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The cost to install a beadboard ceiling averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely. Installing a beadboard ceiling or new drywall will disturb the asbestos and release some microscopic fibers, so the installer will need to take precautions. 

Epoxying over asbestos tiles is generally considered a safe option when done correctly. Epoxy acts as a sealant, encapsulating the asbestos tiles and preventing the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The key is ensuring that the asbestos tiles are in good condition, firmly adhered to the substrate, and not damaged or deteriorating. This method is only appropriate for tiles that are undamaged and securely in place. If the asbestos tiles are already loose, damaged, or deteriorating, encapsulating them with epoxy may not be a sufficient solution, as it might not address the potential for ongoing asbestos exposure.
