I've been in construction 25+ years, and been exposed to alot also. Insulation, asbestos siding, cement dust, played with mercury, and done alot with lead, from bodywork to melting lead into pinewood derby cars for weight.... the list goes on. Although I seem fine, My father, also in construction his whole life, died of cancer. And some of my friends have died of cancerous or respiratory diseases.

My point was that before digging into a project, sometimes a little research/precaution is a good thing. And enough 'Pelicans' read these threads, some may get the paint tested before stripping, burning, etc.

Stepping off the soapbox now........
