James Bond The void protection for the entrance hall void Is this a legal requirement (worksafe or something)?

And it is pricey. $1000 for 3 months. They only need 48 hours notice to install. JB Re: Frame just about complete! 5Jul 14, 2009 10:32 pm James Bond Yes. And it is pricey. $1000 for 3 months.

We had it for months straight, then the roof went on......and it stopped, lol. Left us with ridges on the yellow tongue to sand.
