The dusty air blew into every room in my house.
I did a total bonehead move the other day. I had been renovating my living room for months trying to get it looking better. One thing I have been doing is removing the current wall and adding new drywall over top. The project was a hot and sweaty one, so I had my air conditioning running. The AC was great for keeping me cool and circulating the dust in the air quality. I did not have to wear a dust mask because the cooling system was blowing it away from me. After I finished the project and had the new wall up, I turned off the AC. I cleaned up my whole house that was coated in dust. I then painted, laid new rug down and had a finished living room. It has been almost two weeks since the project. I turned on my air conditioner for the first time since. All the dust and debris from my home renovation got sucked into the A/C device. After I turned it on, the dust blew right out of it. My new rug has dust all over it. The surfaces in the living room all have a white film on them. What is even more terrible is that the dust got into my ductwork. The dusty air blew into every room in my house. So my newly cleaned house looked like a disaster once again. I should have not used the AC when doing the construction. I should have covered my air vents up. At the very least I should have gotten an air conditioning business to clean the machine before I turned it on again.
