woes of construction...

Ok, as a preface, I love being a homeowner.  I have lots of space, there is a fenced in yard for the dog, I am getting everything just the way I like it, and I am just enjoying it!

HOWEVER...

I,  Hate.  Dust...

and it's everywhere!!!  Knock down one tiny wall and BAM your house is covered in it.  Put up another wall and BAM there it is again.  Don't even mention when you have to joint compound the new wall, and then sand the joint compound (bam?).

This last weekend was the worst, I left for an 8 hour rehearsal for the musical @ babson college, and I got back to the gutted remains of the walls and ceiling around my staircase, and grey nasty plaster dust coating everything. Even the dog.  Cut to 2 days after, and I am still sweeping.  Russell and I have probably both put in 3 hours apiece on controlling this dust, and it keeps blowing around and resettling...it is very stressful, and I hate feeling it on my hands and in my hair.

End dust rant.
