NelsonWelp, the white paint on top tested negative, but the layer of yellow paint underneath tests positive. Sadly it looks like some of the wood was entirely stripped of paint while removing the siding, which suggests some of the lead paint may have already escaped. Not sure what to do now. Common advice is to simply paint over it, but some of this wood looks rotten and likely needs to be replaced, so we're going to have to disturb it. Time for some reading, I guess.<a href="https://jawns.club/tags/lead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lead</a>

NelsonWe're renovating our porch roof. After removing the aluminum siding, we're concerned that the painted wood underneath, which is peeling, may be covered with lead paint, and that the dust and flakes may contaminate our garden and house.
