I’m having the bathroom redone in my current home and I forgot how dust gets EVERYWHERE.
You’d think after 4 renovations on the TC house, I would know. But I forgot and second guessing our decision to stay put.
I was a single woman for renovations #1 and #2. I stayed around for the kitchen redo in 2003. I stayed with Scott & Matt on 1st Street for the big to do in 2007/2008.
After getting married, I did the basement and put on an addition. We stayed with Rose across the street then rented a friend’s place on the unit block of Bates St NW for the addition. Even with the basement, and the plastic barrier, dust got everywhere.
So now we’re doing a 1st floor bathroom renovation. Silly us left doors open and dust really got everywhere. We had moved the kid upstairs because his room was right next to the bathroom. After a few days we moved up with him.
And no. Those plastic barriers do not keep all the dust out. Anyone who has shared a wall with a place undergoing renovations knows, that stuff is like a ghost and travels through walls.
So that’s why posts for the next month or so is going to be meh or non-existent.
