Topicwater damage + termites = bad house juju

this is at my mom's house. long story short, we had to tear out the front corner of the house and rebuild the support structure. the sole plates at the bottom were especially bad and disintegrated when we touched them

as you can see in the below picture, the mason who did the brick facade was probably drunk. there's a lot of mortar slop. more importantly, he didn't leave weep holes for moisture to drain out, so the sole plates had been collecting water for 50+ years

besides the water damage, the supporting studs were home to termites once upon a time. here's a cross section of one of the less damaged boards:

got a lot of work ahead of me the next couple days. I've already rebuilt the wall structure and put up new foam board and insulation, and tomorrow I have to run wiring, put up new drywall and patch all the other stuff I damaged during the demo. then after that comes paint and finishing touches

Haha, my dog loves to take my socks off once I take my shoes off. He runs over and bites the end of my sock and pulls it off, then I chase him around for it. Then he drops the first sock and does it with the other one. Every day, it's hilarious.


my old dog would always snag socks from my hamper and carry them around proudly. he could stuff three or four in his mouth at a time - the more socks he had, the more he'd wiggle

my company gives employees 3 work from home days a month and i think that's a pretty good balance. it's nice to have a day when you can just chill in your PJs and answer emails while eating snacks on the couch, but my productivity goes waaay down when i'm at home and i end up just playing playstation while tapping my mouse every few minutes to avoid my laptop going to sleep.


that's what my mom did when she had her knee replaced. she had no substantial work due but had to VPN in anyway, so she spent most of her days watching TV while mindlessly swiping her laptop trackpad just to keep the monitoring software happy

working from home is overrated. it's nice to have the option to telecommute if necessary, like if you have medical appointments or other external obligations that interfere with your normal office schedule. the thought of staying at home all week makes me cringe though - I HAVE to get out of the house, and I HAVE to have that bare minimum of social interaction with coworkers
