This is it!
Linked to this posting is Newsday’s report on the new lead rule.
The fact of the mater is the people who don’t care, and the fly-by-nighters stand to do well, until they’re caught.
It well cost me and my clients extra to comply. Anyone who want to skirt the issue will out bid me on jobs.
Maybe I can get a Job with the EPA, cause I don’t know if doing home improvements will work out now. I guess we’ll see

Here’s an update on the new EPA RRP Lead law. I got a Mailer from Hofstra University. They are offering the course starting March 26th; however the law takes effect on the 22, but better late than never I guess! They’re charging less than what I paid for the course and its easier to get to. Plus the area is a bit nicer (over in Bed-sty we were told for lunch not to stray too far! You needed to get buzzed in to the building, besides one fast food joint was a pizza place that didn’t sell pizza, and don’t get me started about the parking. )
Still not too many people know about what’s going on with this whole lead thing. I was talking to a cabinet sales woman in the Home Depot the other day. Her Hubby works for a big improvement outfit running a crew. Work is slow and he’s doing the handyman thing to put cash in the pocket and they haven’t heard anything about this. Why isn’t anybody banging the gong about this?
