[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since it was built post-1978, you shouldn't have to worry about lead paint, which is key. Lead dust kicked up by renovations can really do developmental damage to little kids if they ingest it over time.[/quote] Yes. We renovated a 1880 rowhouse in Georgetown and I did all pre-pregnancy and before kids. The stuff we did after---I made sure kids and I were living elsewhere. Lead is a serious concern. Other than inconvenience--you could do it if it wasnt too extensive. In our current house we took down two walls to make an open floor plan on the main level and the amount of dust and mess was unbelievable. I moved into a hotel with the kids for a week down the street. This house was built in 1920 so I also had lead issues.[/quote]
