i had to take a lath ceiling down to day OMG dust i cnat breath i had a crappy mask and no googles i came home looking like a african man after a bong!
 
Those thin masks are useless. I wear glasses as well so when I put one on they steam up, so I cant see or breath >:(
Respirator masks are the future but you have to change the filters on some models every month whether its been used or not.

But its MUCH MORE FUN taking 'em down.
Lots more of a sense of achievement and pride in your trade.
If everyone overboarded the job would become boring

Get a Sundstrom respirator, absolute dogs, the filters don't need replacing every month, mask costs about £25, filters are £10, (can be used for asbestos removal too), I've had mine for 3 years best I've had, comfy too!

My face always does that after knocking any walls or ceilings down. After i wash all the soot off i look like tommy tomatoe

i'm not mate, had enough lately.
 
Used to do a lot of work on schools and the old ceilings mainly had to come down and they ranged between 60 and 80 sq m. Worst 1 we ever had was over a meter deep in soot and crap, they were all special but that 1 really made my day NOT. Often we had as much as 2 skips of rubbish and by the way think about denailing that type of area!!! That in itself took a day.

i love de nailing, love it when the head comes off the nail and u
get to bang it back into the joist
 
sod doing de-nailing thats why i just take of the plaster! and cross batton! saves loads of time and its easier to clean up rubble than it is to clean rubble with laths in!
 
A few i give to the dog, he loves them.The rest i put im pockets, then pi$$ me self when my missess checks the pockets before putting them in the wash.
