I should have listened to my mother.<\/p>\n
Over the weekend, Kevin & I started our next home improvement project. We decided to use MDF which is really cheap man made wood. I think they compress sawdust or something to make it. It\u2019s solid as a rock and heavy. Most importantly, it\u2019s really cheap so we picked a bunch up and got to work.<\/p>\n
As we quickly learned, MDF produces a ton of sawdust when you cut it so we set up shop outside on the driveway. While Kevin cut, I held and managed to somehow always end up downwind. After an hour or so for breathing MDF dust, I began to not feel so hot. My throat was prickly, my nose was running and I was having a hard time catching my breath.<\/p>\n
Then I swear I heard my mother saying, \u201cwhy aren\u2019t you wearing a dust mask???\u201d I quickly ran downstairs and grabbed one but it was too late, the damage was done. I\u2019m still coughing up gunk like crazy. I can\u2019t go near the wood without having a reaction so poor Kevin has been on his own. He, of course, refuses to wear a mask. Foolish boy.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been nursing my lungs cause Round Two begins this weekend. Thankfully, we are done with the MDF and will be moving on to good old pine. And, I\u2019ll have my mask firmly in place thank you very much.<\/p>\n
