I’d like to thank my back and knees for being there for me when I needed them.

    I hope that’s a storage area and not the house. Word of caution don’t stack wood close to the house as it invites bugs to the home. (Termites and carpenter ants especially.)

    You may have done it right, but I’d rather warn and help then just move on.

      I appreciate the warning, and learned that lesson a couple years ago.

      This is on a concrete pad that used to have a hot tub, surrounded by pressure treated wood and about 20’ from the house, and it was okay last year.

      Oh man, reading stuff like that I can’t appreciate enough that my house, the most expensive thing I have or will spend money on in my entire life isn’t made of a material that would succumb to a few months of unchecked exposure to a handful of insects.

      Seriously. The possibility alone would leave me terribly nervous.

        There are insects that burrow into concrete type materials too. If you have drywall or wood trim or food in your house, there’s a critter that can come visit you. Nature gonna nature. We’re all worm food eventually.
