Yep, now you have to pass that all onto your customers and you have to include all the plastic, tape, suits, booties vacuum, filters, bags and excellent mask. It just never ends. How does one explain all this extra costs to the customer for per 1977 work areas renovations. Jobs can be lost because of EPA and in MA the state took it over as they saw a good way to make more money.
