Law can cut a very fine line. That’s why experts discuss interpretation of the rules which can change as written law meets the real world. This distinction in regulation ‘sinks’ in for a Masonry contractor. Some ‘grass roots’ advice for a General before ‘tearing down’ a previous answer after further research with the CSLB. We’ll update…
He is likely a gentleman, but isn’t an ‘Officer’! I ‘break down’ the issues on ‘General’ mold removal, while correcting another contractor that reaches an incorrect conclusion about having your cake and eating it too.
