I'll take pictures, whether the outcome is good or bad. It'll serve as a reference for those who might come across something similar in the future.
Interesting project. It would help if you put a box fan in the window, and if there's another window one there too. The door can serve as a fresh air intake. If you can keep a slightly negative air pressure in the workspace, it will greatly reduce the amount of dust getting into the rest of the house. You won't get a perfect seal with the plastic sheeting, so you want house air coming into the workspace at all the little leaks. Without maintaining a bit of negative pressure in the dirty area the dust will be a problem.
For masking off things you don't want blasted, you could probably get by with a few pieces of sheet metal with short "handles" to keep your body parts away from the action.
A unique type of sandblasting is dry ice sandblasting.
It would require some special equipment, but the only waste is what is blasted off of your wall.
As I mentioned in an earlier post. You want some air flow with the negative pressure to move the dust. Without some place for some air to enter the blast area the dust will just hang in the air.
