The ongoing Extension threads are full of useful stuff but I thought it could be helpful to have a separate resource thread with more hints and less chat.
Please feel free add things to that helped maintain your sanity!
Links to products are useful but please also include a description as links can go out of date or be removed by retailers.
Where possible, I have tried to credit MNer who had the tip...
Make sure you check or update your home insurance @MyNameIsJane
You may need to add a small premium. Some insurers will refuse to cover you but should refer you to an alternative insurer.
Zip up dust door @WorrisomeHeart
Keep the extension and "untouched" bit of the house separate
If you are having a skip on your drive, ask the builders to put down boards before it is delivered. This will protect your drive from damage as they tend to slide around during the changeovers
