I started working on this repair. I found a few things that have me a little confused. 1. The original rim joist is a 2x8 from 25 years ago and measures 7 1/4". I have a 2x8 in pine that measures 7 1/8" looking on the stack at the lumber yard, they measure anywhere from 7" exactly to 7 3/16"...

We have trails of ants going up the foundation walls and under the siding, but after that I can only wonder where they go. I have been trying Amdro granules with some luck. It's kind of satisfying seeing them carry off chunks of it. I just have a worry there is some huge nest inside my house....
