NW WA Meet / BS Thread

hey the nerdy stuff pays for my truck stuff. and house. which means I no longer have truck money it seems.

Anyone know how to fix rotted exterior wood? I'm buying the tools and gonna need to learn.

 

"I don't know nothing 'bout no compooters or nothing"

 

I mean, this is the NW WA thread...

To be fair, I'm not a computer or programming guy. My role just so happens to be in the IT department. I may have to learn some javascript for my next job though.

 

What exterior wood is it? Typically you brace it, cut out the cancer, replace it, remove the brace.

 

It's some sheet siding and hopefully just the 2 corner studs. Second floor

 

Shouldn't be too hard then. Just as long as everything is braced. Metal siding pops off and on super easy, composite siding is cheap to replace and repaint if it comes off funky.

 

and a fascia board. water basically came in through fascia, dripped down inside siding, pooled up in the soffit. Wet spot on soffit also has a leaky bathtub drain right above it. It's actually good that it's all in one spot and not multiple places around the house. Wood ants in there chewing on soft wood.

Let me remove more of the wet stuff and get a better picture of the damage inside.

so far I was gifted a skillsaw, then bought a miter saw, sawzall, and already have other basic tools. Might check CL for a table saw.

 

and to reply to myself.... I was quoted $4200 by Mr. Handman to fix and I said eff that.

 

Yeah, eff that big time. You can definitely do it with the tools you have. If I can, anyone can. I'm and idiot

 

Well said, well said

 

The proof is in the puddin' pops

 

Anybody need some quality bed bars and/or a 48" farm jack (hi lift)?

Includes 4 quick fists for shovels or axes or my broverland mock variant, the broom stick lol

 

Suddenly I feel really sleepy after having one of those.
