Funny how things have changed but remained the same.
Did you notice the recommendation of the addition of new asbestos siding. And you know all the paint they were applying was lead based.
I wonder what will be the mistakes that we are recommending today that the future generations will laugh at? You think Hardi board will turn out to cause some dreaded disease?

It must have been nice when a child's biggest danger walking to school was a speeding car.... Now days you beat that one into their head by the time their 5... then it's on to bigger and more dangerous things.
