It was love at first sight for John and Kirsten when they saw this historic home on their daily walks, built in 1902. When the opportunity came to buy it, they only needed to know where to sign. After moving in, the peeling, exterior lead paint needed to be replaced. No big deal, right? Except when the painters left the windows open to “hear the radio” while they were dry sanding, dry scraping and burning lead paint off of the exterior, they severely contaminated the entire interior. Now, the Youngs have a wedding reception/anniversary party coming up for John’s sister who helped them greatly while their home was uninhabitable for 16 months during the lead clean-up. 100 people have been invited. That means that John & Kirsten need to finally move out of the guest room to make room for overnight guests. Can the 2nd floor apartment be converted to a master bedroom suite in time? What about squeezing in a new bathroom and changing room? Is this the last hurdle in their lead-filled nightmare?
