Knocking down a wall/advice re dust

Thanks for advice. I'm not going to cover any doors up with plastic sheets as the builders can come and go through the back door - which will remain open so hopefully will help with dust.0

I have recently had internal and external walls removed and ceilings replaced. It is unbelievably dusty. On the other hand we have a fairly high mess tolerance level:D. If you think you are going to be keeping the rest of your house pristine you will be disappointed (and exhausted).You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friend's nose.0

Just thought I would update. It happened and it was fine. There was a lot of dust but not a spec in any of the cupboards we taped up which I was amazed at! They put a dust sheet over the door and there was no dust upstairs or anywhere else! The back door was open which helped I think. I was expecting carnage so I think so I was pleasantly surprised. The builders were amazing and vacuumed after the wall came down and then again at the end of the day once they put the beam in. They also washed our kitchen counters down. I've gone over everything again but they did a great job.
This was before they put the steel in.
Furniture back in and we are going to live with it for a bit whilst we decide what do with the kitchen!0 -

Nice one. Builders like that are worth keeping in touch with for future "projects"!I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the In My Home MoneySaving, Energy and Techie Stuff boards.
