<<The restrictions are getting tighter and tighter. One new one is full protective gear suits must be worn to replace 1978 or earlier windows and additional measures must be taken. They add a coupla $ hundred to each replacement window.>>

My house was built in '78 but the window trim was stained and not painted. The interior wasn't painted until 1980. The exterior wasn't painted until '84 when I bought the place. Soaked up 32 gallons of paint for a 2000 sq ft house.

Don't buy anything built in 1978 or earlier either.

I guess I'm just SOL with my 1906 Craftsman Cottage.

We had some windows replaced this summer on our 1920's house. They guy taped some plastic down, that's about it.

I don't think I'll report him.
