and contractors need a license for any plumbing, electrical, heating or air conditioning work. they also need a license for construction that requires a building permit. remember, don't hire an unlicensed contractor just because they may be willing to work for less. jennifer lewis/contractors board: you're not protected. the board does not have legal authority to come in... and order them to fix the problem. if something goes wrong, your only option is court. in all, nevadans lost more than $8 million dollars to unlicensed contractors last year. but with a licensed contractor, you may qualify to get money back through the "residential recovery fund." if you are hiring someone, the contractors board says: jennifer: never pay in cash. the general rule is 10% up front, or no more than $1,000. and always get it in writing. jennifer: make sure that they're very specific and detailed, down to the type of color paint that you would like.> to take every necessary precaution.... to protect yourself. there were more than... -16- hundred unlicensed and criminal complaints opened....

(nats color run) and fire isn't the only hazard. the stuff can be harmful if inhaled--especially to young children like this one being pushed through a color cloud in a stroller during a fun run. 16:52 scott: our lungs, our eyes, our nose, the way we breath this stuff in, you have to take precautions there as well. we reached out to several event promoters --- color vibe replied saying they use a special formula that makes their cornstarch powder non- flammable. but they, like all the other
