Those knee pads were EXPENSIVE!! Let me tell ya! I wore just the dust mask. We got the better ones that "claim" to handle the finer dust like the stuff created by the grinder. It did ok, but if I were to do it again, I would belly up and get the respirator.

Bingo. The builder wanted $2300 to insulate, drywall and tape that wall. It is on my long list of home projects!

Thanks! :thumbup:
