It used to be wood

Some of the expansion joint whatever wood spacers in my driveway extension were looking a bit second hand, so I decided to pull them out in anticipation of replacing them with some fresh new pressure treated planks.




The termites already did most of the job for me. Good news is it made the lumber really nice and light to carry over to the trash bin.

So is the old wood a standard size? Or was it from back when 2x4s were really 2 by 4.

They’re the usual 2x6 cut in half. Which is annoying because that makes it hard to use pressure treated since the treatment doesn’t protect the cut edges.

Just use redwoood? Seems overkill, but it'll probably last a good while.

Thinking of going with that option, yeah.
