[quote=Anonymous]We had a medium-sized renovation that ended up being very, very hard on us because of the noise and dust. It got so bad that we found a last minute Airbnb for the last couple weeks of the project- we literally couldn’t stay in our home anymore, despite trying to plan on being out of the house on the days that were the dustiest/noisiest/worst.

In our case, it was the dust that was the big problem, despite all the cutting being confined to just one room of the home and full tenting around the space. It got into the vents, was circulated, and made us really ill. We had been assured repeatedly that we didn’t need to love, our project was smaller scale, etc but in retrospect, I wish we had just moved out immediately. Even on the best days, it was still disruptive to have one part of the house tented off, trying to coordinate with getting the kids out of the house before the work began, etc.

We are really happy with it now but it was a stressful period, even though it went well and on schedule! [/quote]
