Except when I put them in.I have a friend who has one I put in 25 years ago. Still dry.
If it was in a wet/snowy area you performed a miracle because the ice dams kill everything around here.

He thinks so too. I remember installing that thing about 10 times in my brain before doing it - kinda like how Tiger Woods plays golf before the game.

Think like a rain drop. - Black roof - good drainage - good flashing.

Finally got around to building a hammock stand for the missus I promised her LAST summer. It's going to be hilariously overbuilt. 6" x 6" cedar posts sunk 2' into the ground and concreted into place, then I'm going to build an arbor across the top and grow some wisteria over the whole thing.
Put the Prinsu rack to good use, too! Felt much more comfortable strapping this much to the roof than I would have with the OEM rack/crossbars.

Picked up a new hedge trimmer. My old (3 year) Troy Built XP is fucking junk... thing leaks gas when you turn it on its side. Kinda sucks for trimming bushes. I've replaced the gas cap but it does the same thing. So... picked up a new Echo today. I like it. Not a Stihl but I'll run TruFuel through it and hopefully it will last.

@unevolved did your wife ask why you were using 6x6 posts?

Compensating for something, I guess.

Well since I am loosing the kid who mows my grass later in the summer I've been getting things together to do it myself. Ordered 2 new 20x10x8 turf tires and picked up a new battery (old one was 230 CCA new one is 400.. I "think" it will fit. Fingers crossed) for the JD rider today. Also found the rear bagger attachment for it on sale at Lowes (sale ends today) for about $90 off. Only things left are to change the plug and oil on the Honda pushmower and make sure the string trimmer runs (it should I used it not too long ago). Wife said she would drive the mower around to mow as long as I edged. Hmm.. not sure if that is a good deal or not.

You didn't mention that you bought a laser...

Battery fits... spins the engine quite nicely! Assembling the bagger but I have a super flat tire.. like off the bead. So I need to get out there and jack it up and pull it off. The new tires and tire spoons will be here Thursday. Neighbor kid works at Discount Tire.. I'll have him either help or just take them up there and mount them.

Got the flat tire off.. this would explain why its shot. 
Yeah I did the sidewall patch a while back and it held but I didn't notice the sidewall dry-rot until now. Its a 2009 model JD with only 102 hours on it. Tires don't know that though. I think I might look for some front tires now. Might as well get it ready.
