Lead

Yep, we found lead in the paint what was on the walls in the front of the office area.  At first our plan was to leave the brick painted, but clean it well and live with it.

Nope!

After I found some suspicious looking paint I bought some test kits and did a bunch of random swab tests.  Lead, and lots of it.

Luckily the folks at Blast it Clean had been in to give us an early bid on taking the paint off so they were familiar with the property.  When it was cosmetic the cost seemed prohibitive.  Now that it was a lead removal operation, it was a bargain!

They came in and sealed the building areas that were not to be blasted and got to work.

Sealed for your protection.  Mostly...

Bullpen before.

Blast it Clean used an amazing product that encapsulated the lead paint as they shot the walls.  Cleanup was a breeze, allowing the debris to go right into a standard landfill.  Super job all around!

Just a little mess...
