I'm about to remodel a 120 y/o cypress cottage. There's not one drop of paint on the property nor is there any insulation, wall/pipe or otherwise. All the walls and ceilings are wood. I mention this as it relates to asbestos and lead paint.
I'm going through the permit process now and soon will have a remodeling permit and Temp electricity. I've got an friend who's an Electrician that's going to supervise that portion of the work. On the other, I'm on my own.
I can't find a reference to our Parish's (County) building codes. For a DIY'er how do you know you're doing it right? How do permit offices treat these old buildings that were built before codes were written?
