Trim work and flooring with transition pieces complete. 1 more 1/2 day in the house tomorrow and then 3-4 days in the yard. Hoping not that long, but that's the max time frame I'm giving myself
You're going to work yourself skinny there trashy

Looked at job prospect today. A paan-bode with some lower log rot, along with joist rot, and some floor rot. A lakeshore property owned by an Albertan who comes and goes and expects things to be cool without maintenance. Floor rot from a leaking washing machine (been leaking for a few years) that seeped into the floor joists. Lots of rot in the floor joists. The joists are suspended on a footing and are about 12” from the ground. No poly on the dirt. A major undertaking and everything has to be done from the floor.
I passed. Don’t need the headache and the hassle of anticipated problems.

That sounds like a job that would be absolutely full of problems
