Asbestos and Safety Inspectors - Who to hire?

Has anyone hired a professional asbestos inspector/tester? I want to get the ceilings in my house tested for asbestos and, ideally, would like to hire someone who could let me know if other parts of the house are likely to have asbestos too. I don’t feel confident in the Google results so I’m hoping someone here can offer advice on who to hire…or who to avoid.

Last minute: need a throne chair for this weekend for a Quinceañeira in Graham.

I totally bombed on my one task to find a good throne idea for my niece. It is a big part of the "Quince" and I'm desperate. However, this part is being thrown mainly with help of family and community, and church, for the daughter if a minister, so there's not much of a budget. Any ideas, suggestions, leads would help.

Please be kind and don't judge this tia for her terrible forgetfulness (I actually am involved in other ways too... this was a last minute mission, but like a week ago).

Looking for used books, board games, art, dishes, trinkets. Just anything unique/weird. Preferably no metaphysical shops as I don’t know much about crystals. Thank you!! Bonus for LGBTQ+ friendly

Cat for adoption

Hey guys, my roommate and I are currently fostering a cat through animal services. The cat we are fostering is actually the perfect cat, and we would love to find him a home. He was found after the hurricane in western nc. He is very personable and cuddly, as well as super easygoing and energetic. His name is cheddar and he is 8 months old, and he is available for adoption right now. You can find him on their website https://24petconnect.com/BurlingtonPets?index=30&at=CAT&gn=M&age=Y

Microwave repair

I’m looking for someone who can replace the magnetron, diode and capacitor on my old Frigidaire microwave. I’ve managed to find some used original parts online. I just need someone who knows what they’re doing and who can swap the parts out without electrocuting themselves. Think old school appliance repairman who will not mind fixing my old reliable microwave with used parts sourced online.

429 Huffman Mill Rd construction.

I was just wondering if anyone knew what was being build at 429 Huffman Mill Rd. It’s the parking lot of Holly Hill next to Taco Bell. They’ve put the frame up, and I think the walls are starting to go in but I’m not sure what it is. I’m guessing it’s going to be another fast food place. I’m just wondering what it’s going to be. There’s a McDonald’s, Wendy, Arby’s, chick fil a, Cook out and so many others near by, so I’m guessing it’s not going to be any of those. Just curious if anyone else knew.

North St John's Street near Marco's Pizza?

I'm thinking of moving there. Is it nice? Or is everyone playing the “fireworks or gunshots” game every night?
