Title: lead poison (paint) in homes Post by: Sandy on December 03, 2007, 11:05:38 AM When remodeling to become sustainable in any way if the home your working on is built before 1980 don't forget to check for lead/lead content if disturbing more than 2x2 inch square of paint. Lead poisoning in anyone could cost you more than lead abatement funds.
