The Revenge Of The Deck
When we dismantled the hideous deck, I attempted to sort out and keep as much of the non-rotten and non-nailed-into-oblivion wood as I could. Two of the non-rotten pieces of wood were a pair of ~14-15 foot long 4x6 beams that, in a previous life, had been two of the joists holding the horrible deck up. Since I hadn't any need for them, they got shuffled down to the bottom of the (allegedly properly stickered) pile of deckwood, and stayed there until today when I pulled them out so I could make them into the foundation ring for the prototype house.
Apparently, one of the joists did not think that it should have been stored in next summer's project, so it's been spending the last 7 years slowly warping and cupping. Little does it realize that I'm calling the shed the "prototype house" because it is a prototype, and if the foundation wants to be bent it will simply be research for the cracked and irregular garage foundation.
