Hart Tue, 05 Aug 2008 02:58:26 +0000 http://newyorkrenovator.com/?p=637#comment-1388 Thanks for this important information. Several years ago a friend re-designed her kitchen and tore up the laminate. Instead of laying granite or formica, she used tile pieces to create a mosaic pattern in the surface. It was beautiful, but not everyone would have the patience to do something like this. I've been thinking about doing a post about mosaics on my blog, The Artist's Muse, at http://www.sharonahart.blogspot.com perhaps this is just the impulse to get me writing! Thanks!

I certainly understand and respect that you will make your own decisions when it comes to your family and your home. The MIA just wants people to have all of the available information on this issue. We’ll share this with WIVB-TV also. Thanks, Mrs. Mecomber. I certainly understand and respect that you will make your own decisions when it comes to your family and your home.

Just for your information, this is not a sensationalist blogger news scoop- I found this story from the Buffalo news, WIVB-TV. So maybe they should be informed also? As a homeowner and mom, I will honestly say that I don't give one whit for EPA guidelines and the lowest possible rate for human safety. I'm a mom and there is NO WAY I would ever knowingly install anything that gave off any toxic gases. I'm pretty angry about all the lead paint, asbestos, formaldehyde, and other junk dumped into my home in the past, by dufuses who probably followed EPA guidelines but not their consciences. Just my two cents. Hello Allison, and thanks for taking the time to comment.
