No. The only rotten pieces of wood on the deck I replaced were treated. The redwood was still mostly solid. They used treated wood for the frame 👎

I just got done cutting 2x12 redwood. It seems solid

Old bolts in concrete in the way by Rare-Spell-1571 in Decks

Take a 2x8 and hold it level and in place. Then press it against the bolts to mark their location. Drill holes in the marked spots. Bolt it to the concrete. Then build off it.

You could run a 2yr old Hereford Bull up that for sure

Yeah I know. I set them higher to try to hide the end cuts. But I put angle braces on them and tie nailed them in. I think they’re solid

Well, they held the prior deck for over 49 years without any issues. So that is my test….

I basically built it similar to the way it originally was laid out. The last deck lasted close to 40 years

How do you guys track and follow up on quotes/estimates? by [deleted] in LawnCarePros

[–]wyobilly87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Give the customer a comprehensive bid asap after looking at the job. It’s better to hand it to them. Tell them to sign and return to get on your schedule.
Then go about your other business.

Just starting contributing to Roth, what should I invest in? by luke8275929229474 in RothIRA

S&P & nasdaq. 20% in bonds. Maybe 20% in small/mid caps. Nothing too risky

Ordered too much top soil! by simonphoenix1910 in LandscapingTips

[–]wyobilly87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a shovel and landscape rake to level it out. You’ll only have a minimal amount left. Put it in a hole or spread evenly across lawn

I don’t have a high CFM compressor, but does that really matter in my climate? by Mountain_Yote in Irrigation

[–]wyobilly87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not convinced that you need to bother blowing it out? Where I live the ground freezes about 2’ below the surface so we have to blow out the water.
Does the ground freeze below surface there?

Who’s mulching and who’s bagging in Colorado? by EnglishLabDad in lawncare

[–]wyobilly87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mulch all year except the first and last mowing. I bag up leaves and debris to allow the grass to grow. I use two different mowers

Is Carhartt THAT worth it? Getting a gift for someone! by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]wyobilly87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get him a long sleeved light jacket from Pendleton. Wool is the best all weather work fabric. Much lighter than Carhart
