Perhaps through kindness you can chip away at his negativity and help replace it with a few happy moments. 

All paint intact - no peeling or chipping

It's sad, you and I pay for these money-sucking lawsuits - when we renew our policy and when we are forced to overbuild and overcompensate for the idiots out there who will eat the paint chips, or in this case, kill their neighbor on your property. 

The paint on the kitchen and bathroom cabinets is chipping off here and there (small chips) because they were painted over - probably will have to keep being re-painted unless they are re-surfaced.  

It is just hard to bet the way you want to with so few chips sitting in front of you at the table. 

If any members of the family have hearing problems, install one for the hearing impaired.The entire unit, both inside and outside, including window frames, must be free of cracking, scaling, peeling, chipping and loose paint.

.:( @Jay Hinrichs I can see how this could be used as a bargaining chip, slimeyI was thinking most people don't draw in 1st position beacause it's not as risky as 2nd position, thus the draws in 2nd, but I could be wrong...Thanks again everyone for great posts!

Probably good idea to start chipping away at the insanity as you are doing.

Hey Maybe if you bake some fresh chocolate chip cookies and leave it at the door she’ll come out and let you in .

Also, the lead paint is primarily on walls that shouldn’t be disturbed, but there are massive potential liability issues if the paint were to chip and be consumed by an infant.
