Frustration today. We are putting vertically oriented siding on the house and must install horizontal lats.
We used a witness stick to mark were the hinge pins for the functional shutters we have will be and once we knew the placement of those pins for every window and door, we could decide where the lats should go.
We around the house with the beeper and laser and ended up off by almost an inch after 3 walls.
I verified the laser's level on two distance objects (side of workshop and side of house, and it's within 1/4"... don't know why my marks were off.
So after dark we went around the house just looking at the laser and marking the elevation... and it's spot on. I mean like 1/16" on all four corners.
When travelling around the house, be sure to keep the handle of the laser housing point in the same compas direction (ie handle to the north).

So we finished removing the vinyl siding today and have it all stacked up in a trailer for the dump. We found 10,000 small dead beetles (or lady bugs) inside as well has numerous wasp nests. They got in around the gaps where the siding didn't fit snug around windows for example. The wasps dug out the foam bits to make room for their nests particularly in the corners.
I'll shoot spray foam in there and then trim off with a knife. We also have sealing foam strips that we will use to fill the gaps.
The ICF hasn't aged a day since we put it up 25 years ago. It had gotten oxidized during sun exposure during construction.

Wood fire is better.
If you want cheap, go to a mill and get free or almost free sawdust. Make big pellets in a 5gallon bucket (or whatever size fits inside your stove) Add some water and weights, holes at the bottom for water to drain.
Leave a hole in the middle of the giant pellet, let it dry.
Burn.
It will burn for at least 2 days if it’s large and sawdust is hardwood and well compressed.
