I made a dump run (you know, the "landfill"). Spring cleaning. Then I set the drain in my downstairs shower that I gutted over 10 years ago. Once set, I made the mortar shower pan. Been a long time coming. Next will be the Schluter membrane and tile! I figure that will happen next year. Can't be rushing things here ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
You have to know how, and legs play a great deal in that. I am looking for my back brace in a few minutes. MY back aches, for real!

You are going to smoke a cherry tree? I'd hate to see how you are going to roll it

What I did was observe how well the carpenter bee traps I made a couple years ago are working. I got them up just before they appeared. The first year I made them they went up after those bastaads were busy. Worked but only got a few. Last year they went up earlier but after they appeared. I swear, this year I put them up, just on Monday, and then there they were yesterday. They really work. Today, out of the 6 I have two with one, one with two, and one with more than I can tell. Looks like 4 or 5. None yesterday, but in just one day they did this! I put chili powder in those holes. Mwah hah hah! Here is the most successful one

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yep. Thank goodness they don't seem interested in my front porch where the other two are hanging. I've rarely gotten one out of those two and no signs of boring started, ever. Good thing, because that is the most precious of all my exterior wood.
I just redid that trellis they tore into a couple years ago. And to replicate the old true 2" x 4" lumber dimensions I had to rip down 4 x 6s. I just turned that water gauge right side up (upside down all winter) on Monday. Those holes weren't there. They did all that yesterday! They really went at it. I have 6 more jars and plenty of scrap 4 x 4. I'm making more asap.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I got 9 carpenter bees yesterday. And I sweated just pushing my lawnmower. It got to 85* here yesterday. At dawn this morning it was 65*. I sawed my last firewood till fall, I hope, earlier this week. Used the Tru Fuel since I hope the Farm Boss will be on it's summer hiatus.
EDIT: I got 16 bees. There were 12 in the one I thought maybe 5 were in, that I took a picture of. Yesterday 2 had just 1, so 18 so far

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Don't know that I've ever seen carpenter bees.
Tim, way up yonder and you are already mowing? Aw nuts! Now you've done it. I've got to go do mine now. Maybe I'll just do the first weed eating today and catch the mower part next week. It's looking a little shaggy around here. We've just had rain storms and twisters the last 3 days and another round of rain coming toward the weekend.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Had to get the big equipment to use on the big stuff my Kubota wouldn’t move . Wanted to take the 85 out so no trailer . Just dragged and piled it up . So far we cleared about 25% of what’s coming out. I should be good for a few years.
Some are going to be milled with my Alaskan mill so it’s not all firewood .

I emptied those bee traps and that one on my woodshed had 12 in it! So, all together in one day I got 16. Got two ore today after I emptied them out. I don't know why they call them carpenter bees. They don't build anything, they tear it down. They should call them demo bees

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
They require a high fiber diet?
![]() And I started out to just do the weed eating but it was early afternoon and well, I ended up doing the whole yard. 1st cut of the season is done. It was looking pretty rough.
