Ok, I'm having a little building work done, starting in a week and lasting probably 2.5 weeks.
Having a dividing wall put in, a doorway knocked through and a chimney breast (unsupporting) knocked out. Plus plastering.
The builder has said he will put the wall up first and effectively trap himself in the room to knock out the chimney to minimise dust. I've bought out the local B&Q stock of plastic dust sheets and 2yo DS and I are going away for the first week.
We have just got a new massive shed and will be putting as much of our stuff in there as possible, plus I am going to completely tape up DS's room while we are gone to try and stop dust.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me? Or tips for cleaning up? By the end of week one we have to come back and live there but I'm hoping that as the wall will be up and the dirtiest job (chimney) will be done it should be ok as DS won't have access to the room where the work is.
