Having tried a few dustmasks when working with rubble, i can't find one
yet that enables you to breathe easily and keep the dust away.

Has anyone come across any good ones? If so what make are they and
where did you buy them from?


Silly solution, that I find works just fine.
Hosepipe + short length of aquarium tubing.
Put the hosepipe to a place with clean air, and learn to breath in
through mouth, and out through nose.


Just like when escapees from the chain gang hide underwater! Except
for the breathing out through the nose of course. I'm definitely going
to give this method a try. My wife is so pleased and relieved after


Honestly, I only found it a problem for the first 20 min, afterwards, it
became easy, even when doing other forgettable work.
