Lead based paint (a strange but important posting)

As of this month there is finally strictor renovation rules (entire country) that are in effect for contractors dealing with homes, schools, and child care facilites! As of April 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint must be certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination! Long-term lead exposure to children under the age of six can cause developmental brain problems, it doesn't take a lot of lead to be hazardous to one's health. So if you live in an old home built before 1978 and have some renovations done please MAKE SURE that your contractor is certified and registered by the EPA. Why make the house look nice and your lungs and brain feel sluggish. Have a great day and don't forget to smile and wave to some strangers today!
