Remediation of lead paint at the Norwood House will be completed in the next few days. Last week, workers stripped the plaster (asbestos) from the walls and ceilings, off loading more than 7,000 pounds of debris. Now the compromised rafter tails have been removed as well as the degraded decking on the porch roof. Once the contractors are done, our partners in the City Parks & Rec maintenance division are poised to add more temporary protection to the roof.

For all those interested in seeing change happen to the biggest eyesore in our neighborhood, the sound of plastic sheeting being stretched over the Norwood House was pleasing indeed!

The house is now entirely wrapped in plastic and machines inside the house are creating negative pressure….all part of the asbestos remediation process. To insure a good seal, a trench was dug around the house perimeter and the plastic at ground level was covered with dirt. A protective entry way is now in place. The two large columns that once were part of the porch, and stored inside the house are now outside.

The asbestos remediation is scheduled to be completed by Friday.
