No home owner can work on it if it disturbs any more than the above
dimensions! Rule goes into effect on April 22, 2010. The ONLY exception is
if you spend several hundred $$$$$$$$$$$$ to get your home certified lead
free by a certified contractor. With 28 days to go there are only 10
various certified contractors within 100 miles of my zip code. $300 for the
application, which takes 6 weeks for the efficient gov to rubber stamp the
application, $100 for the 8-hour class, plus travel and food expenses, plus
about $1,000 minimum for the required equipment. A simple, cost-effective,
timely option for home owners Nobrains and his henchmen are on the
loose to help destroy the US.

I don't know how accurate the above assessment is; I understand there is
a new mandate from EPA but I've not read it specifically.

IMO, if so, it's one of those that folks just simply should use the
power of numbers and silence and rebel by simply not paying any
attention to the Feds on their own places. They simply cannot
effectively enforce such silliness unless people do become sheeple.

Of course, use reasonable work habits, etc., ...

There's a point at which folks simply have to say "enough's enough and
we're _not_ taking it anymore...
