[quote=Anonymous]OP i also advise you to sleep elsewhere and cover absolutely everything in plastic. The first phases of work are suuuper dusty. It is bad. You would not want to sleep in the same room. 
My contractors cleaned up well every day but the dust is unbelievable. One good thing is, once all the drywall is up, you can move back in. Everything after that is pretty manageable. We did a remodel that involved moving walls and pipes and it took 5 weeks total with only one person working. It was a small space. The first three weeks were demo, plumbing and rough-in. The last two weeks (the less dusty ones) were tiling and installing vanity and fixtures.  
We also WFH during the reno, fortunately we have separate work spaces. I checked in with the guy every morning and asked him what he's planning on doing that day and sussed out if anything would benefit from my input. If you don't ask they just install things wherever they feel like it and pretend it's unreversible. At night we would look over the space in detail and come up with any questions or changes needed. Take some pictures of the studs and guts of plumbing before the drywall is up in case you want to make any changes in the future or need to know where to hang stuff. Good luck! The final result is all worth it! [/quote]
