Wife was all about me taking down the plaster, then she starts freaking out about lead. I ran a clean demo, and cleaned up real good. Can’t be mad at her, don’t want to harm our beautiful daughter. Long story short they’re staying with grandpa for the weekend while I clean the entire house.

There's nothing wrong with getting the kids out of the house while you're doing demolition. Chances are if you'e pulling down anything that's older than 40ish, it's coated with lead paint.

Oh for sure, they were gone when I did demo. And yeah, house is about 1880. Definitely lead in the brown paint about 3 layers down. But like I said, I cleaned it all up already. She’s got herself all worked up, so I’m cleaning everything everywhere all over again.

Ah, I see. The 'ol "BUT THE TV TOLD ME TO BE AFRAID" thing. Yeah, that happens.

Yeah, dude. Try to keep her happy and sane best I can, right?
