my friend lives in a very old house in a VERY small town. last summer it was determined there's lead everywhere. she has 4 year old. the fire company next door is the landlord of the house and they finally indicated they are gonna paint inside and outside and i think replace all windows. or maybe just paint them. i'm unclear. ive scanned the EPA pages for DIY people because i'm sure the fire company is gonna have one of their buddies or something do it. no way will they spend the money to hire EPA certified people. she has zero money and could never stay in any hotel and no friends can really put up her and the child for what probably would be an extended stay if they did this repair 'right' what is the practical application of what should happen in this house with repairs while they are living there. my guess is at a minimum each room while its done gets a plastic doorway and all belongings in the middle with plastic? there's nowhere to move anything outside of the house (no assistance, trucks etc). she's disabled so day to day living is hard, much less moving all this stuff. i told her call CYS to see if there's any strong arming they can do to doing this repair correctly. i dont see whatever local govt is on this community doing anything. my guess is they would evict her before spending a ton of money to fix it . edit: found out they wont replace windows. just painting them. so i guess in theory if the just paint over everythign then there's no 'dust', right?

I’m trying to get a smooth finish using oil based SW primer. I’ve used a 4” high density foam roller and I’m not happy with the results so far. I’m going to sand this down tomorrow to knock off high spots and prime again but I’ll have the same issue. Should I use a different roller? A brush? Thin the primer? Trying to avoid roller lines and brush marks. Thanks.
