    Hi all,

    In Hedland (yes my wonderful Town of residence atm) there are a lot of Fibro/Asbestos houses. Particularly in Port Hedland (our Town is plit into two Port & South)the trend here has been to re-clad the outside with Colorbond (as mentioned in a prior post on this thread). Inside walls are then resheated with plasterboards (to cover the old existing and potentials asbestos walls) and made to look ‘seemless’, as in the new style housing. It is by far the cheaper option here in Hedland (3×1 Broome style home $240K, 4×2 ~$340k). they then give the appearacne of being a new Broome style home and fetch more dineros! It also reduces the cost of the reno as Asbestos removal is quite expensive (prohibitive in Hedland).
    Sorry but can’t find a easily transferable picture atm. Some look very nice!

    Cheers
