I just did work in a synagogue where it used to be a house and they
converted... they had a drop ceiling and when i moved a tile, the old
celieng that was plaster broke, a big chunk full on my head and made dust
everywhere... my little hand held vacuum couldnt handle all the mess today,
had to go get the real vacuum .. nothing around that mess
