Hey, it was 3:30 and he didn't want to run to the lumberyard...at least he supported the cut joist...many plumbers wouldn't have done even that.

Reckon Texas termites are mucho bigger and badder then our wimpy west coast woodbiters. I think they go for the wet wood first around here, where it's all dry wood on the menu down your way.

Don't give them the wrong impression about our plumbers, they can run a sawzall as well as any of our termites can chew wood...and pretty good at crapentry...connecting pipe is a different story

It's not always just plumbers, some times it's the sub the builder uses.
