Don't complain until you do any house construction involving drywall dust. That stuff gets everywhere!

bah, modern drywall dust ain't got nothing on tearing up holes in old plaster walls. I dont know what the hell kind of plaster they used back then but every time I open a hole in the walls of my house (built 1920s) the plaster material in the walls bursts into an enormous amount of fine particulants which cover an amazing square footage area with a blanket of the dust

Yep. 1937 here. Ripped out the entire dining room. Had 2 box fans in the windows to draw the dust out. Still got everywhere.
