I watch a couple of homes near construction (none in Hemingway, yet, though). While I'm not asked to do so, I do do a quick dusting every week so that the construction dirt does not pile up and sweep the lanai and front porch every two weeks. It just gets too dusty otherwise. Anyway, there's no question the dust is pretty bad but at least it's not the sticky type of dust and easily cleaned off. I definitely would keep the pool well covered so that the filters don't get clogged up with the dust. And, yes, windows and doors should be kept closed but, then, most of us keep them closed just to keep the heat and humidity out and the cool air in.
