The one thing about hubby is he likes to be busy. So he has been finishing off the last room in the basement. While doing that he found a problem with the window well's surrounding the basement windows outside on the one side.
This is our neighbour's basement window well and you can see it's surrounded by wood. This photo is just for reference. Ours looked similar.
So hubby dug out all the wood and installed the metal window well's, which you typically see in all houses. This is the laundry room window. There is another smaller one to the right, as it has two windows.
This is the downstairs bedroom window. The metal window wells look a lot tidier.
This is all the wood that came out of the window wells.
Look how rotten it was............
It was soaking wet, so we have been letting it dry out a bit before we take it to the dump/tip. As we pay by weight!!!
This was a job we didn't realize we needed to get done. Thankfully it's finished with now. Now we are busy collecting and sorting out things to take to the dump, as we have to hire a van from Home Depot to put everything in, as we don't have the pick up truck anymore.......I'll post about this in a bit.

What a great job. It looks neat and nice.
It does look so nice now.
Just noticed that you are back - good to see!
That was a big job - and given how wet the wood is - the metal should do a much better job. Good work on hubby's part.
If you have something like Freecycle in your area, perhaps you could offer up the wood for them to burn?
A job well done.
That looks so much neater. Yuck that wood is very rotten.
God bless.
the wood is pressure treated so has chemicals in it, so you shouldn't burn it.
A job well done! I have a list for husband when he does retire lol
