I’m facing a remodel job where the client wishes to have a brick hearth and 8 lf of 48″ brick veneer removed from the site where a wood-burning stove was located. Even though we will tape off and tent the immediate area, there’s gonna be a lot of stuff floating in the air.
Any experience or comments regarding the use of a shop-type air filtration unit to control fine dust would be appreciated… I’d like to have one of these units for my shop anyway, and can see it coming in handy when we remove tile in bathroom remodeling jobs, and for the day-to-day sheetrock dust that we generate.
Perhaps I’m just looking for an excuse to buy another “tool”, but $260 for a 750 cfm unit might be a worthwhile investment, with payback in worker safety, economy of clean-up, and avoidance of client dissatisfaction.
Also, any comments on preferred brands and best types of filter inserts would be appreciated as well.
Thanks, Steve

Steve,
See this month's "This Old House " they have a article on a filter unit.
Me? Nah...I like drywall buggers!
Pickin' & Flickin...by the stream.
