Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Of course. I meant there are no termites here. But stuff eats wood that falls on the ground, for sure.
I stacked the wood there because there were already tiles on the ground that the previous owner clearly stacked his own wood on for the past 40 years. And there's a wooden shed at the back of the building that's also used to store wood. I found maybe a cord of wood in the shed when I bought the house, and another half-cord inside the garage - which is also a wooden building.
I'm not from the area, I'm from way down south, and I had the same concerns also with regard to stacking wood close to buildings. So I asked around, and I was told it's safe here - and actually quite common.
Wow, that's so foreign to me. I knocked down a live tree the other day because it was full of termites.
