In the entire building those board were the only ones that were not physically removed or chemically stripped.I do know that XRF will detect that lead and have been told that I should notify an inspector/risk assessor of that situation otherwise it will be assumed that the surface of those boards are painted with lead paint.It is notable too that in the year ~1990 I had a blood level of 8 ug/dl. 

Another option is looking into overlay pavers which are thinner than standard brick pavers. 

Beyond the blood, sweat and hours we have spent doing the remodel ourselves, it is also the home I grew up in, our first home, and now the home we had our first child.

Everyone wants to go through legal hoops and that’s professional....but it will be for naught because in the end you’ll never get blood from a turnip

Once you get thinner on cash flow, you dip into your reserves more. 

While I would love to buy my first STR in the Pigeon Forge area it is too rich for my blood at this point in my life.

You will learn more from them than you could imagine.At a wedding for one of these guys' kids, he told me I was as much as a son to him as any of his blood children.

YUP  I know exactly what your doing and the asset class that sells on contract and these are prime targets better for them to sell to you for a little more money than get hammered by the local wholesalers who will just be out for blood.. with no care in the world how much these folks lose.. that's what wholesalers do.. its their job..  

When dealing with a shady handyman, that's like blood in the water for sharks.In the future, you can best prevent this by not waiting till the last minute to take care of such repairs. 

@Jason Johnson send a letter to every single contact to that property attorney siblings blood brothers alike.
