Greetings

I have a renovation project for the office (third bedroom) in
mind, which involves "First, cut a large hole in the drywall.."* I've
a number of means for doing that, but I would like to kind of minimize
the dust. My options for cutting are
Chain Saw. {Maybe not the best idea, but it is 'an idea'.}
Corded circular saw
Battery powered Circ Saw.
Reciprocating saw.
Roto-zip or Dremel,
"Oscillating Multi-tool"
Hatchet,
Drywall Saw
Razor knife.

I suppose I could remove the clothing and "stuff" from the closet
first, but where's the fun in that?

* the idea is to cut a hole in the wall to allow a lot of "extra
space" at the top of the closet to get a 'decking' laid down, making
for more storage space,with better access. It was done in the older
part of the house, why not bin the add on?


: stud-finder to find the studs ;
: strong little rare-earth magnet to find the screws
: pokey awl to reveal the screws
: drill driver to remove the screws
: utility knife to do the cutting

I gutted my basement this way - used only ~ 3 blades !
.... minimal dust and the big sections of drywall were
folded in 3 or 4 and easily carried out by hand.

It also - cleanly - reveals the wiring & plumbing &
whatever else is in the walls - without disturbing
much - even the vapour barrier is left
mostly in tact. minor damage
