A Porch

How can a front porch cause so many problems? We replaced the decking on the porch, because it was so ratty. Then the FHA inspector came and said that the paint had to go, because somewhere on there may be lead. So we have tried and tried to get the paint off. Now we have just taken the wood off. And have to do extreme cleanup.

It is hard to focus on the advantages of the new house at the moment.

    Lead? Is your house even old enough to have lead paint?

    FHA inspectors are vile.

    This is the house we are selling. There is a repair under the house made with a WWII era crate. It is old enough to have been made from bronze. I should probably count my blessing that they didn't test other stuff.
