Wednesday

Oh thank you Jesus. I was able to fix the drain. The alternative was to open up the foundation a little and cut away pipe to replace it. Here's what I did.



Now is a good time to remember Plumber's rule #3. Don't chew your nails.

The south wall is now ready for sheet rock!

This piece of wood has evidence of some sort of past critter residence. The holes seem too big for termites. I wonder if it is carpentar ant trails. I do not believe they are recent and it was only on this 1 foot stretch of board.

The wall below did have one stud with evidence of termites past all the way up. The trails were external. The last piece to be replaced is the footer. I may be replacing this whole wall tomorrow.

Mike took me to Bubbalous and Star Trek for my birthday. I really enjoy our birthday outings. I miss you all terribly!
