Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Wow, yes, way more work than I would want to take on. Remove 6-8" of the solid ground behind that wall and replace with pea rock for better drainage.

I wonder if those tree roots won't push the wall out again.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Started a new project . Needed a new shed the barn is good but everything gets filthy with pollen and dust as it’s really a hay barn the siding all has 1/2 gaps to let air circulate.
Got the floor joists done now I’ll move it to the 4x4 supports

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Looks square n level to me.
I don't own a table saw and don't do much carpentry work these days anyway but I wonder if there is a jig so to speak to mount a 7" circular saw on to make long straight cuts like a table saw?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thanks guys. We just got back from a week long trip and turned in our rental Jeep today. We went to Mesa Verde and Four Corners where we bought new Navajo made Bands to replace the rings we can't wear anymore. We drove over 1100 miles and got an average of 34 miles per gallon.

That's what I'm talking about. And all these years I've done it the hard way I guess. I'd stake the board I wanted ripped to some saw horses and lay another one next to it then stake a guide board on top for the skillsaw. Thanks, I bookmarked Kreg.
