37. Will the VA require sprinklers head to be turned upside down while ceilings are being replaced? What is the maximum allowed time that ceilings can be worked on before this requirement quicks on?

- For short stints of work on a night-to-night basis, it is unlikely this will be required, however, we will work with our safety department to have all safety measures in place, to meet local safety requirements.
