    For us people down in the south with no basement and no access to foundation joists I think we have to look in attic to find out which is bearing wall. So on a one story house how do we know by looking in attic which is bearing wall?

    Hello from Ohio if it was my place then I wouldn't worry about the led paint I would just take it outside so the mess wouldn't be on the inside and I would just strip all the paint off and then finished it however I wanted it the heck with this license crap and just do it myself

      For rigidity. Do you want your shower valve flopping inside the wall? The copper pipes allow for easy bracing.

    No mention of the point load of the beam. You can’t just add a post at the ends of the beam and call it good. Make sure that load carries down to a footing that is capable of supporting the load.

    Unless you have a 5 year old licking the radiator while you're working on it, complete over reaction. Lead takes years to build up in the body, a simple mask is fine, but then how could they charge you the 1000's,for the 'lead paint removal' fee.

    • @nathancawley6944
      @nathancawley6944 2 роки тому +2

      It really depends on local codes. Some areas don't require any precautions as long as the work space is under a certain square footage. Also it takes a tiny amount of lead to poison someone.

      This channel will always do things that are recommended by code. They aren't going to risk a liability on their hands because some DIY'er made a mistake or did something they shouldn't have done. Don't blame them for giving the appropriate advice even if it is overkill.

    • @philipzielinski
      @philipzielinski 2 роки тому +4

      Professional work requires EPA lead-paint certification. It's not a question of whether it's reasonable or not. It's required in a professional setting.
      As for a homeowner doing it, that's up to them. Lead paint is a real risk. Had a friend whose home had lead paint. Windows and such had paint in ill repair. Kids developed high levels of lead in less than a year. Dangerously so. The treatment is arduous and the effects of lead poisoning are devastating, especially to kids.
      So roll the dice if you like. But mocking adhering to the law is just ignorant.

      Replace the old radiator with Slantfin baseboard. I did it to my income property in Queens NY. A 4 unit building. Instead of a tiny 70 year old radiator the rooms have wall to wall baseboard. Non toxic and heats the apartments faster and more efficiently. Materials cost nothing. The labor cost 3000 for all 4 units
