The previous owners of my home had a meth lab according many of our neighbors. My understanding is the bulk of it was done in a shed. I am unclear if this is our current shed that is attached to the house or a shed that may have been in our backyard at one time. I am also unclear how much meth was done inside the home. I do know the walls & cabinets have not been redone and the air vents have not been cleaned. I believe Read more
