Do you have a splitter? If not it would be worth renting one. But get that away from the side of the house asap. Damn I wish I had a fireplace.
What did you accomplish today?

Agreed, I have a friend that had to replace the framing on the end of her garage because the wood stacked against it brought termites into it.

I have to laugh, in 2017 I covered my garage ceiling with 1/4" Luan that I stained dark and polyurethaned. It was a cheap and attractive way to have a nicer looking ceiling in there instead of exposed boards and pipes, electrical lines, etc. I also put painted furring strips over all the seams of the luan. Cheap and easy.A sound no homeowner wants to here is the sound of water spraying inside a wall. That's what I heard last night. Ran out and shut off the water to the house. Cut the wall open and found that that damn crimped polybutylene pipe they stopped using years ago had sprung a leak.
I've already had to crawl under the house and replace some of it with PEX but I should have just done it all. It's not if but when that crappy pipe fails. I just haven't been willing to tear open the walls to replace it but It's now a priority summer project to replace all that crappy pipe. I have a roll of PEX so I replaced the run under the house to the kitchen while I was down there. This was the hot water from the water heater. I'm sure glad they had everything I needed at Home Depot. Sharkbite fittings make things easy.
I'm also glad I worked construction years ago. At least I'm able to do things myself. It would have been $500 if I had to call a plumber.
A couple years after, I noticed some things I had hanging on the wall were wet. Then I saw a drip. Fuck!
I got a Sawzall and cut out a hole in the Luan and saw what happened.
One of the brad nails holding up the furring strips perfectly penetrated the water line. It sealed for a couple years until the Brad nail rusted and then the leak started. Was an easy fix and patch.
You just never know what's going to fuck you.
The adventures of home ownership I guess.

So you hauled that in? I bet your neighbors just love the sound of the chainsaw as you cut it up.

Pulled camper to campground setup camp and haven’t done a damn thing since. I’m taking a few days to relax way to much going on for someone who’s retired.

I'm a nice guy. I always wait until at least 10:00 am to start making noise. Plus I'm usually too lazy to get started with anything before then.

Drip line I put in under the raspberries wasn't putting out water quick enough for me so I put in a few adjustable bubblers. They should be good and soaked in 15 minutes now. Beer shelf is filled, burgers for dinner. Still taking it easy on my back for another day, I can walk without limping at least.
