After a wonderful Memorial Day weekend with family and friends, it’s back to work tomorrow. We are installing 2 sliding glass doors. They are never too hard; they just eat up the time. I will let you know how it goes.

Use Lead Safe Work Practice

2010-07-11T04:35:00.000-07:00

If you are having repair work or any renovations done you need to know about lead in the home.

The following information came from http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/renovation.htm the official EPA web site.

Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, window or door replacement, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to adults and children.

To protect against this risk, on April 22, 2008, EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and other actions aimed at preventing lead poisoning. Under the rule, beginning in April 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.

Until that time, EPA recommends that anyone performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child care facilities and schools follow lead-safe work practices.

All contractors should follow these three simple procedures:
Contain the work area.
Minimize dust.
Clean up thoroughly.

Recently we were blessed by God himself through his son Jesus Christ with projects that fell in a perfect sequence so we could complete all of them on time and under budget. Thank you Jesus for the knowledge and ability to perform our task in a professional and timely fassion. I thank God for the opportunity to put his son’s name out there on the job sites in a manner that is a blessing to others we work with.

I also thank God every day for my family and friends who support the life I live and respect the word of God and Jesus Christ the way I do.

THANK YOU LORD!

Residential property owners and managers, general contractors, special trade contractors, including painters, plumbers, carpenters, electricians, and maintenance personnel are affected by the new regulation. The Lead-Based Paint Pre-Renovation Education Rule (Lead PRE) became effective June 1, 1999, and applies to you if, for example, you are a painter, plumber, or a carpenter, and your job requires that you disturb more than six (6) square feet of painted surface. Act now to find out if your pre-1978 home or apartment has lead hazards. And, if you find lead, don't panic.

Remember!!

Lead paint isn't always dangerous. If it's under layers of newer, non-lead paint, you may not have a problem. Only when lead paint is disturbed - by rubbing, bumping, water damage, or during renovation - does it release tiny particles of lead dust that can harm you.

The solution to a lead hazard problem isn't always expensive. There are ways to "manage" lead hazards. In fact, removing lead, if it's done improperly, can create more problems than you had in the first place.

The older the building, the more likely that it has lead ...

90% of pre-1940 buildings have lead.

80% of pre-1960 and,

62% of pre-1978 buildings have lead. If liability is your primary concern, select an evaluation method that follows the 1995 HUD Guidelines, the de facto standard. If you are subsequently involved in litigation, it's likely that your actions -- what you did and how you did it -- will be measured against these guidelines.

Always have lead evaluations performed by certified professionals.

Max's wife passed away after many years together and he is now in an assisted living facility. He is not a young man, and when you visit him, sometimes he knows and other times he does no know who you are. A little sad knowing what a brilliant man he was just a few years ago. Both him and Jo, his wife, had Polio and spent many hours together in a wheel chair. I remember them playing with the grand children on the table where they could both reach easily and have fun with the children. I was never so amazed at what a challenged person could accomplish as when my path crossed theirs. Both were great. We all love you buddy!
