re: Moisture level on wall framing

In Youngsville in 2016, you could line up inspectors through the city free of charge who would do an open wall inspection and write a certificate stating you were good to cover your studs if they were below 20% moisture. It came in handy when we went to sell because our buyer wanted that since we disclosed it flooded. I suggest giving your local city or parish hall a call to see if they are providing that service.

Pull Behind Lawn Rakes

Has anyone had any success with any sort of lawn rake/sweeper they can attach to a riding mower that can handle the smaller sticks dropped from trees after a hurricane? I’m trying to help clean up as many of my SWLA family and friends yards after Hurricane Laura as I can. Obviously the really big stuff is pulled to the road by hand, but I’d like to know if there’s a better way to get those millions of leaf filled 1/2-1” diameter branches.

I too have a small backyard. Just put in a 15,000 gallon gunite pool for $35,000 with all the equipment and roughly 700 sq ft of concrete. Brother in law has a landscape company so I’ll be getting the materials at cost but even without that, the whole job can be done for under $40,000. Our house is new and the back patio already had the grill/TV area
