Garage D.I.Y.

I have at my house a garage, if you can call it that, constructed with wood battens, and asbestos panels. I think it was built not long after the house was built in the sixties, so obviously the problems with asbestos was not known about at the time.
The doors of the garage are wooden and I do not think they were ever painted or stained, so I have just painted the doors and part of the asbestos funnily enough the same colour as the fence at the back of the house. Strangely enough I replaced and painted the fence last year as well. I would like to point out that asbestos is safe as long as you do not damage it or make holes in it, so painting it is okay, in fact you may be encapsulating it, well it looks good anyway.
