comment What type of clothing is required when working around asbestos?
If you even suspect that asbestos may be present wear a disposable Tyvec coverall and throw it away after each use. Even if washing did remove the fibers your house, vehicle and everywhere in between could be contaminated.

comment Is it OK to vent a first floor bathroom with a fan and a duct running through the basement?
If the basement is an unconditioned space (no heat or A/C) I would insulate the pipe to avoid condensation forming in the vent when it enters the cooler basement.

comment Can I use a drywall anchor in a stud to hang a shower curtain rod?
If you use a screw directly into the stud try to find a stainless screw. It will be rust resistant in the high humidity of a shower. If your local home center doesn't have them try a boating supply center.
