Houses are simply a money sink. A few weeks ago while playing with doggo in backyard I noticed that some of the joists had completely come off from a part of our deck and broken. The horror of this discovery led me to call a contractor right away, who then discovered not only I had multiple joists broken, but several support posts totally rotted (and he wasn’t cheating at all – it was covered in mulch and it was not built to code). So now to fix that, the contractor had to remove all the boards, and once he removed it, obviously we discovered more joists that are just broken or rotted. So yeah, at this point we are almost close to re-building the fucking deck and I was like if the wood and Trex cost same, might as well replace it with Trex. Houses are such money sink.
