today the wx was bad so i didn't go to work to work on the new deck. so instead i worked in the bathroom downstairs. the deeper we dug in the more t-damage we found. pic #4 below shows it best. in the upper right back corner i had to remove a section of 2x4 that was eaten away using the "duct tape" of electrical power tools. yep. a
sawzall. we reframed the window and replaced the eaten studs as well as put up most but not all insulation. the temp is dropping here tonight to the mid to upper 20's so that made it a little more important to get up.
