i am overly-paranoid by nature (and have a 6-month old so) so yesterday as we were painting a small closet and my FIL sanded some old paint away it had (has) me worried.
with that worry comes questions. given that painting prep does include sanding, how is it possible to safely prep and paint over old lead paint?
furthermore, what types of precautions need to be taken when doing even basic things such as drilling into walls and such?
and, now that the "damage is done", how should i approach the clean up of the closet given there's debris (assuming containing lead) on the floor?
thanks!
