couple of weeks ago i was replacing a few boards on my tacoma house. well.
what started as one soft board turned into twelve. Then I found the sheathing had rotted. Then I found what I’m pretty sure is black mold. Then it rained. Then my wife stopped speaking to me for two days.
I currently have a 10×8 section of my house covered in contractor bags and blue tarps. neighbors probably think we’re doing a dexter situation in here.
finally swallowed my pride and called a contractor. guy from sfw construction came out, looked at my disaster, and somehow didnt laugh. said the good news is i found the problem before it spread to the framing. the bad news is i created about $2k worth of extra work by doing what i did.
lessons learned:
1 – some things youtube cannot teach you.
2 – Seattle is not for begginers
if anyone needs me, I’ll be explaining to my wife why we are not taking that trip this year.
