i'm currently suffering from a really sore throat and swollen lymph nodes down one side of my neck because of all the plaster dust hanging around even though i wore a mask while sanding the last couple of days. having a beard doesn't help i think.

Pretty much every discussion of £30 masks in this thread is followed by the suggestion of >£100 ones for beards. Unfortunately they prevent a seal and provide a huge surface area to store dust and other nasties for you to breathe in later.

If you've got a big messy project you're probably best off removing it.

thankfully all that's left is painting, laying laminate, sorting out the edge trim around the window and door frames and building a quick and dirty floating desk from cls studs and cheap plywood (no budget for anything better at the moment but also easiest thing to replace later on).
