Working Around a House That Is Still Being Lived In
The floor is done in sections so you always have somewhere to be. Containment goes up before anything starts: plastic on the openings, air moving in one direction only, and the doorways you still need kept clear. Furniture moves once rather than twice, into the area that has already been finished. It is worth walking the house with us first and agreeing which rooms come out of use on which day, because that one conversation is what keeps the week comfortable instead of disruptive.
Dust is the part people expect to be worst and it is the part that is most controllable. The grinders run with extraction at the head, so what comes off the concrete is collected there rather than left to drift through the house. Odor is the other question. The base coat has a smell while it is going down and for a few hours after, which is why we sequence bedrooms early in the day and keep the air moving out through an open door instead of back into the living space. The sequence changes, the specification does not: here is the epoxy floor build in full.
