Sawdust (Day 3018)

Back to the bathroom job this morning, where I spent far too long scooping up sodden fragments of chipboard flooring. The space below the chipboard and between the joists has been filled with sheets of polystyrene, and today I learned that polystyrene can absorb water.
With the majority of the floor and polystyrene out of the way, I could assess the joists. They are all saturated and need to be replaced. The only good thing about them is they are sitting directly on a concrete base, so I can replace them myself. They are however made up of a really odd size of timber which I can't get off the shelf. I spent lunchtime buying timber and a table saw to cut it down to the right size.
The afternoon passed by in a cloud of sawdust while I made a start on the floor joists.
The best bit of the day was arriving home at the same time as my beautiful wife.
