Thanks for the reply.
One of the problems I have is then walls on the inside look good. but the former owner had sheetrock installed over the old tongue and groove walls and the outer walls are asbestos shingle.
Most asbestos shingles aren't much of a hazzard unless they crumble when removed. Leaving and siding over is one option or you have to wet the siding during removal, bag the debris and dispose into a lined dumpster and into an approved dump. Subs in most areas must be licensed and certainly wearing respirators and tyvek so as not to import the dust or breathe it.
PM if you need direction with asbestos and I'll point you in the right direction.
