What have done towards your prep?

I saw a problem that needed a fix early today, grabbed the drill and a bit of wood to take care of the situation.

Removed the old bit of wood that needed replacement and found the homeowners worst nightmare, water intrusion to the interior!

I had a leaking window that allowed water to run down the interior of the outside wall until it soaked the floor and rotted a large section of the floor out along the wall. About 30cm x 1m.

I spent the entire day tearing out bad wood and replacing it with new.

It would not have been a real big deal under normal circumstances but all of the lumber supply stores and repair centers are shut down and I am well into the self isolation run and do not want to push the reset button. Our area is right in the middle of the infection peak and they are expecting the wave of cases to appear in 2 weeks.

I fortunately have a supply of 2x4 and plywood sheets which my friends have advised me to throw away for years. All that "clutter" is now considered supplies.

I'll get this finished up tomorrow. This kind of work makes an old man tired.
