What did you accomplish today?

Got most of the post drilled out so I can slide a replacement post in the hole. Thought I had one I could use, but termites got to it, damn redwood.
Another trip to the hardware store tomorrow. I have another post on that side that needs replaced also. :roll:
I am thinking that any new fence is going to have metal posts. I have some treated posts that are 30 years in the ground, no visible decay. Others a few feet away, 10 or 12 years in the ground, and they have rotted off. All were ground contact rated 4x6.

Those posts aren't cheap, but I guess it would be better in the long run. At least the termites wouldn't get to them.
 
8’-6”x11’ those are the widest measurements.
You guys think the woman who buys this house from me will be alright with that for a walk in closet?
View attachment 4840053I can still change it.
The old man is gonna be stoked with a 2000sqft shop w/12’ ceilings. Gotta make the woman happy though. Kitchen will be pimp of course
Mine's bigger :lol: I'm not into clothes so I have most of my Christmas ornaments and a ton of pot stored in there among other things.

Best thing you can do with PT, the real PT ground rated posts, is put at least a few inches of gravel in the hole first and they have some good coatings you can put on the post that will be in the hole.






have I ever done that? No. Lol
