- 1 pile of old wood - burned due to termites*
* So i was clearing out some old stuff in the back and found these old saw horses that have been there forever. They weren't treated (they were here when we got here) and had become completely termite ridden. My first thought was that there was no way they were going in the basement. As I was getting ready to weight them and take them to the curb, I noticed how infested they were an wasn't too psyched about dropping these guys all the way to the front yard of the house, and eventually having them work into the outside of the house. So i decided to burn them in our chimenea (a friends idea). While I'm sorry to have burned the termites, I didn't know what else to do. The kids brought out marshmallows and we toasted them after the fact so at least it turned into something good for them. As for the pollution aspect, the CO2 is the same (I'm assuming ) since they'd break down in a landfill eventually anyway, but i wonder what else was released. Like I said, they weren't treated so no chemical from that. Either way, an isolated incident and I'm going to list it anyway.

Week 36 pics
I need to apologize for the absense of pics. I have had some on another computer nad between that, a severe lack of time, and some technical problems, it's been way too long. More to come and then hopefully I'll be back posting the previous pics I've been lagging on. As you can see, the basement is getting a little full, but still hanging in there. i need to clean next week though.
