POWERWASH--NOT!!!

Because of the new Lead Safety RRP ruling, we are not allowed to powerwash any home built prior to 1978.  Even if the paint is in good condition but just dirty, we don't want to risk creating paint chips that might be left behind. I would suggest using a garden hose and doing a light wash. The only homes of the 41 we are working on that were built after 1978 are projects 44, 46, 51, 52, 57, 59, and 60 (all in Adopt-a-Park). 

The following projects are being prepped prior to Rebuilding Day in accordance with the new RRP ruling because they were built prior to 1978 and have peeling or flaking paint on more than 20 square feet on the exterior:  11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 25, 26, 28, 54.  If painting is part of your scope and you are not on this list, then your paint is in good condition or the paint is peeling/flaking on less than 20 square feet of the exterior  OR  your home was built after 1978. 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in following these recommendations.  If you have any questions regarding this, please don't hesitate to contact me.
