Meth house remodel options?
OK -- so I got your attention with a cheap lead. But I have a sincere question. There's a property in my area (the Triangle, NC) with a burned house on it. Rumor is it was a meth lab that went to flames. Nothing really salvageable even if it wasn't a cook shop. In IT, when we completely wipe a system and rebuilt it, we call it a nuke&pave. I suppose there is a similar phrase here. It may be an opportunity to completely bulldoze/haul the remainder of the house and build better. I've just started running numbers on brown-ground build costs for a 2-3k sq ft in the area. Does anyone have a feel for the demo/haul costs? Or for those who have tackled meth houses in the past, are there other DHHS/EPA rules about clearing the old structure/lot? Thank you!
