Ever forward (never straight ). Looks like good progress my friend. I'm about 5 days from beginning to tear down my place for an electronics upgrade and room move. No dry wall, just about three weeks of steady soldering.
It was moved many times. It did get dusty but we used dropcloth whenever possible and cleaned up the dust and equipment when we were done. Most of the gear is on wheels. That helps some too.
OMG.....I was a NASA solder jockey for three years for Uncle Sam. Boy do I feel for ya. YUCK. Only one thing makes it tolerable. BEER!! And lots of it Unfortunately, I don't drink so soldering that much is out of the question anymore!
