Asbestos in Milwaukie

Well, my mom wanted me to go help her around the neighborhood this morning since she decided she wanted to go for a walk at 4am; I figure it’s a good sign during Kemo if she actually wants to be active and excersize, so I said what the hell, I’d go check out the constructon they’re doing at Linwood Grade School since I hadn’t heard anything about it…

I get over there, and start walking around…  They’ve GUTTED the place, the insides are bare, even the friggen overhangs are down to the boards…

I get to the side entrance, and what am I greeted by, but a huge “Warning, Asbestos” sign…

Yeh, that’s right, Linwood Grade School is closed, RE: Asbestos…

It was so sad walking around just seeing that place that I spent oh so much time in (even helping teachers prepare for the new school year during the summer) to see it taken down to little more than boards and struts…

They have a LOT of it sectioned off so that you still can’t see in, but if you go to certain areas you can see in just fine…  I’d love to tell you where, but all of the teachers have changed and moved around, so my locations will only be known by those of you who went there with me… BUT:
1. Mrs Mick’s old room is open, Mr Knowles is now in there (go figure he’s still there, second grade according to the sign)
2. Mr. Knowles old room and the ones in that quad are all open, you can see through to the other side
3. Office area is gutted completely…  i spent oh so much time in that nurses office lol…

The odd thing is, even parts of the new addition which I know for a fact don’t have Asbestos are gutted too…  I mean, at least where Mrs. Schwitser and Mrs Cole’s old rooms where part of the old addition; the shit they tacked on (I think 4 rooms and another restroom) are only like 5 years old…

So odd… so odd…
