Yes, I always wear a respirator, and goggles, and hat, but it still hard to breathe and hard to see. I will be very glad when I'm done.

I picked up a new refrigerator today and when I got it unloaded and into the kitchen, I realized its 69" and the space is only 67".
Dang, I hate when I do that. I'll call Home Depot and see if I can exchange the cabinet above it; a 15" one instead of the 18" I now have.

Good to hear. A fan or blower in a window or door can also help the situation a lot. Just keeping air moving helps, but is not a substitute for a mask. It just helps keep the dust load down.

One time we were doing a dusty job at a pharmaceutical warehouse. It wasn't near a window or even an exterior wall. I used some very heavy tubular plastic for exhausting most of the dust. It was about 36" in diameter and I connected it to the discharge side of a fan and ran it outside. That worked pretty well, and for the most part kept the dust localized.
The plastic was something I picked up years before that at a mom & pop plastic bag maker's place that was going out of business. I got several rolls and it has been very useful over the years. A few wraps of duct tape to close the end and it makes plastic bags of any length. It is just large enough to slip a twin mattress into for trips back and forth for college kids.

Why aren't you using a tbar for the floor? That's the tool for the job...
Easy to find locally at HD/etc, not too costly, and MUCH better than a brush. You'd be done in 30 min tops.

Now you tell me. I got 1250 of my 1750 sq ft done. I guess when you just build one house in your lifetime, and your normal job is sitting at a computer, you just don't know all the cool tricks. It's a 3 hour round trip to Home Depot, and I'd be done by then, so my loss. In my next life I'll remember that.
. Thanks anyway.

Sorry, man. The best mode is ask first, then proceed... You never asked the Collective 
I coated 1400-1500 SF twice in one day using that. And it came out pretty nice. A couple small defects but doubtful anyone but me will ever notice.

Holy crow. You are getting to all the big things without taking a little time off after the CO. I'm guessing your off button is on the fritz. Great progress. I'm jealous. I start in the Spring.

I am worried about water leaks from the washer ruining your raised platform, but I can't actually tell what you made it of, so just ignore me if your happy with it.

Not worried. It will get a coat of varathane. We only turn on the washer water when we use it and I turn off the whole house when we're not here.
