Open Question: Safety of a house after Asbestos removal?
We are in the process of purchasing our first home. After an inspection we found out that the heater which needs replacing has asbestos tape around it. The ceiling still has the popcorn on it. We have two small babies and are worried that even if we have a company come in and remove the ceilings and install a new heater after removing the asbestos how safe are we? The house was built in 1962 and of course could be other places right? The house was remodeled with new flooring and the rest of the house is hard wood. Should we proceed with buying or get out now?

Open Question: Neighbors Driveway on my property?
There are three homes to the south of my property that use one driveway for access. At one time, there was a water well on my next door neighbors property, so the driveway crosses over my property line about 15-feet to go around the well. The “new” neighbor bought the home about a year / half ago. He took down the old home and is building a brand new home in its place. He also filled in the old water well with cement. The long driveway (a 1/4-mile long) he and the other neighbors use does not meet current county codes and will need to be “improved” (widened with several vehicle by-passes) for emergency vehicles. This must be done before the new home can pass the “Final Inspection” for occupancy.

Now that the water well is gone, the need for the driveway to come over the property line is gone. Even though their driveway has been there for decades (at least 50 years), things have changed and the driveway needs to be altered now anyway to meet current codes.

What chance do I have of reclaiming this area ? There is no “Easement” or any other “Agreements” that I have been able to find in the county records going back to 1902 that shows permission was granted for the driveway to cross over. Also, all three properties go all the way to the main county road, so its not like this is the only way to access their land.

Looking online under “Adverse Possession”, “Easements” and “Prescriptive Easements” does not seem to answer my question clearly enough for me to proceed. All three neighbors know that the driveway comes onto my land, but say that 10-years has passed so it is now “automatic” that they can use it. But, none have ever paid the property taxes for this portion of land, which came up in my research for being able to make claim to someone elses land.

Open Question: Opinions on Miley Cyrus?
I want to make something very clear-I do not hate Miley Cyrus and I don’t want any haters posting really awful things about her. I just want to know if anyone has noticed that she seems really conceited recently. I mean if you look at the lyrics of “Can’t Be Tamed” she says “I’m hot like that every guy everywhere just gives me mad attention like I’m under inspection, I always get the 10s’ cause I’m built like that.” I was just wondering if anyone thinks that she is really like this, or these are just lyrics that don’t mean much to her. It would seem to me though that she acts like she does believe this… I would really like to hear from fans too and see what they have to say. Thanks!
By the way, I realize that she didn’t write the lyrics but if she truly, strongly didn’t believe that it was right to sing about things like that, she wouldn’t have sung the song. So the real question is how strongly she felt that this was true: a lot, or not much.
Also, I want to remind every one that I really don’t have anything personally against Miley at all. I don’t know her and I have no right to judge her, so I’m just seeing what others think.
Please, no one think bad things about me-I like Miley and I think she’s a good person so anyone who thinks I’m being harsh, I’m really not trying to.
