That's pretty harsh...
If I remember correctly Vash lives in California. Lead and lead contamination is a whole different ballgame out there. Check the laws before you start working. Around here I need a permit from the city before I paint any structure. I would rather know the penalties for contamination before I start scrapping. If you are allowed to scrape lead based paint in Cali with just a drop-cloth to catch the flakes then go for it.
