[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a lead inspection on our home where they used some sort of laser gun that could look at all the layers of paint. Revealed that only exterior, windows/doors ever had lead paint. It was more expensive back in the day, especially during wartime rationing, so many people only used it on the most exposed surfaces due to its superior durability. Removing intact lead paint is not always the best idea. Please follow EPA guidelines if you decide to do so. Putting "paper on the floor" and some regular store-bought HEPA filter is not sufficient. The HEPA filter and vacuum need to meet certain specifications, otherwise you are just spraying the lead dust everywhere. [/quote] Its not that messy (and you use plastic everywhere) if you are tearing out the boards - its sanding that is an issue.[/quote]
