9 over 6s? Not familiar with the term.

It is indeed 3 stories on the back. It's a weekend house that my parents bought about 30 years ago pretty cheap.

The windows, the number of panes.

Doh! I thought so, but for some reason I couldn't see it. I was looking at the second floor vs the first...

That's not cheating, knowledge is where you find it. I'm sure there are even people who have them that don't know that terminology. :)

That's because under the sand there's apparently another layer of plastic, and it's been raining. It's not really that big, less than a foot deep.

Giving it away on my local freecycle.org list. This one chick has taken almost all of it, and I seriously wonder if she's got an obsessive disorder and is just piling it all in her backyard, because I just can't see how anyone could reuse it. Seriously, it's all rotted and full of broken-off rusty screws.

Plus, 90% of the boards are under 4 feet because we had to cut up most if it with a circular saw (because of the aforementioned rusty screws all snapping apart instead of politely unscrewing.) She's told me she's building a freaking greenhouse with it, of all things. But whatever--better her backyard than mine. :)

Just finished caulking the new French doors we installed recently. Still needs paint, of course, once that's dry.
