The dust will go everywhere, blank off all other rooms, you have been

That can't be stressed hard enough.
Don't think it won't happen to you!
Block round the doors as much as you can, that stuff gets everywhere.
Remove as much furniture as you can - and if there are any plants
(especially cacti) take them out before you start. Getting fine sawdust
off those tiny prickles is impossible.

Gawd yes.

Remove *all* furniture including the skirting and picture rail if
possible.

Seal round the door with parcel tape including the keyhole.

If you have a back-boiler turn that off and seal similarly.

Shave head, and wrap body in clingfilm from navel to knees. There are
places you really, really don't want sawdust and it's probably worse for
women.

Access and egress via the window from outside, not via the rest of the
house.

I'm not particularly house-proud but I'll never forget the wood dust
everywhere when Spouse did our dining room while I was at the theatre and
not there to shout at - er advise - him.

I don't think I did any "surprises" that bad even as a child.
