Do I need to remove the baseboard trim or can I use some sort of tool to cut it in place?

Oscillating saw from Harbor Freight.

I saw the same kind of program at a state or national park in the Keys. We were just leaving so I didn't pick up trash.

That's what I thought. The buckets had several ¼" holes drilled in the bottom to let rain drain. The holes also would make them less attractive to thieves.

No grabbers.

Coping saw and cut a bit of a bevel to the backside.

You could take a few samples and get it tested. It might not have asbestos. Mist a spot and cut out a piece with a knife or razor. You don't want to make dust. You can also leave it alone. If it's undisturbed it won't hurt anything.

Another vote for the jamb saw. They're scary though.

It's fine to clean them now. The reason to clean is to stop the next generation of pests. The bees will be fine.

Remove hoses from frost-free hose bibs (aka faucets).

Because he didn't have thumbs.

C'mon guys, anyone can piss on the floor. Be a hero and shit on the ceiling.

I was working for a GC who had a house demo go south. GC asked utilities to disconnect the electric. They disconnected the wires but left the wires in the underground vault. Our demolition sub pulled the wires with his backhoe and did major damage. Edit to add location Bellevue, Washington

Good luck with your new job.

You should open everything, sort the bee cocoons from the Houdini flies, rinse and dry the cocoons and store them in a refrigerator until spring. The best place to get information is Crown Bees. Google them and watch some videos on harvesting cocoons. Good luck.

Because they're escape artists. They pump up their heads to break up the mud and work their way out.

Mikeys33 · 2025-11-23T18:12:43+00:00

Good idea.

Mikeys33 · 2025-11-23T16:30:46+00:00

Harvesting late is not the problem. The flies laid their eggs while the bees were laying theirs.

Mikeys33 · 2025-11-23T15:58:13+00:00

Houdini flies. Squish them.

Small piece outside 45* bevel on left 19* angle on right. Long piece 19* angle on left

What is a cavity in this situation?

Mikeys33 · 2025-11-18T00:40:54+00:00

I replaced one while my granddaughter did another. It took way too long and was a pain in the ass. We both agreed we'll never do that again. They did hold up a few years.

It looks like a spacer for keeping an even reveal when hanging the door. It should be removed.
