Abatement

Our house was built in the 1930's. As a result there is lead paint on every window/sill/and sash in the entire house. So we are now having the house lead abated. Thankfully my father, who is selling us the house, is making this venture financially possible.

The lead abatement means that for two weeks our house will be invaded by a work crew that has moved all of the furniture into corners, covered it in plastic, and then covered various doorways in tarp. Additionally we no longer have any blinds or curtains, so we live in a big fishbowl.

The worst part is that I have to be out of the house all day, so my afternoon nap is over. The best part, of course, is that out babies will be safe.
