Quoted from Darcy:The photo with the insulation wrapped pipe, would that be asbestos? Also is that knob and tube wiring? Is the wiring live? Those are questions I would add to any other inquiries.
A freezer exerts more weight per square inch than a pinball machine, just saying.
Those are 100% asbestos wrapped pipes. You should pay the pros to come out and remove all that shit and stay far away from it and never mind the other engineers.
As for your floor, I wouldn’t panic. That house was built less than 20 years after the Revolutionary War. Pins are not going to do anything to your floor unless you took all ten and stacked them in the middle and then you’d still probably have no problem.
You’re good.
