How to rip out an old ceiling

had to take out the old ceiling so it was dust mask up and get on withthe job with a crowbar, ear defenders, gloves, particulate dust mask from offshore and glasses.
be kind to yourself old attic ceilings are full of settled dust which can harm your lungs with horrible things like particle aesbestos.
I am luckey enought to know the hazzards of these things but to be honest 20 % of the time I work without, however in this case its as much PPE as possible.
And take a shower and wash your clothes before hugging your children and nearest and dearest.
