in the last fortnight he has built a very large woodshed out of derelict
asbestos sheeting

It may look like asbestos sheeting but it's more likely to be Fibre Cement
Sheeting which is similar but contains no asbestos.

It's stuff that has been lying around for a long time: I suspect left
over from what were, by all accounts, chicken sheds in the orchard back
in the fifties/sixties.
My hope is that if he saws inside the shed, perhaps they will absorb the
sound - we'll have to wait and see.
