Best way to keep dust down in a house

[rimexboy]

Hi
well me and the mrs are now at the stage of logger heads as i want to press on and get some jobs done,

but the mess it all makes is doing our heads in and my mrs has had enought...

any tips on keeping the dust down or even extracting it to make my opps our lives better please.

i was thinking of something like this

extractor fan

yer its quite dear but i could use it down the shed aswell when im playing...

thanks simon

i cut out 2 doors round a mates house yesterday simon
what we do is prepare
roll of gaffer tape,roll of DPM,roll of hippo carpet and/or hardwood protector
before we start we move all furniture away from the work area
cover the carpet/floor with protector
cover all furniture with DPM
then seal all doors that do NOT need to be opened with gaffer tape
by the time we have done all this it looks like an ideal place to murder someone :;):
we then carry out the work and use a henry hoover afterwards
oh and i use a stihl water bottle for inside cuts now
anyway by spending maybe 1- 1.5 hours doing prep the cleaning up stage is reduced by a massive factor
30 minutes yesterday

LLL cheers for that we do cover stuff, move stuff, and so on but the dust is driving my mrs crazy and my house is a dump,

i think what your saying is correct and the only way but its just never ending....

i never had this problem when i was doing the garden....

the thing is when its lime mortar it just seems to hang in the air for days,i looked at an industrial extractor but it cost a fortune to hire,think it was massive too

LLL well i dont mind buying one to extract most of the crap to be honest,

i have a water sprayer as well for a very fine mist,

also i am doing up avw caddy down my garage so would have use for the extractor if i did buy one...

thanks simon
