    Like the video - what happens with the expansion joints? does the wood get left in there? if so, when you placed them are they submersed from the service rather than sitting at the service?

    It's beautiful. This is great for DIY'ers. However, you have some amazing specialized equipment. That equipment comes with a cost. Plus how often would I be using such equipment? In my case, it would be better to hire someone. This was very enjoyable and fascinating to watch. Thanks for the post.

    Right now I have a whole bunch or lumber drying. The wood that is already dried I am slowly using it for my woodworking projects. However, there’s no way I can use all of it so I may start selling some locally if anyone is interested.

    Do you think that gravel is still gravel once you pour in the concrete?? I think the concrete turns that gravel into concrete and I don’t think the ends on the post rot because of all that concrete around them lol frost won’t push that big thing out I install fences so kinda dug a lot of holes for 4x4’s here in Pa and it’s not that serious lol ❤🫡

    I've been buying and using carpenter bee traps for several years now and the main problem with them is getting bees to go into them initially if it's a new trap. Once a dead bee or two is trapped, the scent will attract more but it can take a while to get the initial bee "seed" trapped. What I did this year was get some bee attractant off amazon and it worked AMAZINGLY well but my traps fro last year are falling apart so I may just DIY a few more this year. I've got plenty of spare wood. Also, we have a $1 per bee bounty at my house so the kids will be out there with tennis racquets going to town.
