I have an unfinished attic that is full of old pieces of wood from the previous roof, it's full of dust, wood dust, other stuff, probably some lead dust, etc. there are also old boxes, a TV, and other random things.
What is the best way to clean it? I want to minimize kicking up the dust.
Picking up all the pieces of wood and bagging it is probably easy. I will probably create dust clouds, still. 🙂
Is it okay to spray with water to keep dust down? Do I need to worry about getting the wood wet?
Vacuuming is out of question right? (Unless I have a super long vacuum hose so that the unit can stay out of the attic while I vacuum)
Any suggestions of how to clean while minimizing kicking up dust?

I'd go with sweeping compound. It's a kind of sticky granular product that you can get from janitorial stores. It's used for sweeping areas like warehouses that kicking up too much dust is a concern. Follow the instructions on the packaging and dust will stick to the sweeping compound rather than becoming a haze in the air.
