Help! I'm living in a dust bowl!

Sweeping compound, interesting. Kinda sounds like a thicker, woodier version of furniture polish

The GC has a cleaning crew come in at completion, but of course we'll still have dust for months after. The biggest thing I've got to figure out is probably "sweeping" the walls in the entry. It's fairly high, about 25 feet to the ceiling (10 foot plate on both floors, and the entry has a bump up). The rest should be pretty easy to get.

The crew has been keeping the doors open, which creates a pressure differential between floors. Wife was battling keeping the plastic barrier for the 2nd floor in place. So tonight I cut a relief and stapled in a 12x12 filter to allow air to pass through. We'll see tomorrow if that helps.

Sweeping compound is that like the crap a janitor used in grade school to suck up puke?

Similar. Resin impregnated saw dust. Helps pick up more than just a broom can.

If you ever have to sand something like drywall, you'll remember sweeping compound.

It is amazing MY SELF how many uses I'm finding for saw dust after I filled a couple buckets with it from my chain saw mill.

I've sanded plenty of drywall repair jobs, but those aren't a big deal to clean up. I've never done anything even the size of a single wall.

Crew should be finishing demo of the old floor today, they've been wetting the floor before sweeping the bulk, then vacuuming the rest.

How's the boy handling the dust, any problems or issues? I worry about the little guy with that stuff.

He's doing fine, sitting right next to me playing on his iPad being bored lol. He's been in VBS all this week which helps too.
