If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

Talking about how long the wood lasts, after my mother passed away we added a screen patio enclosure onto my fathers house. It required that I take up the 30’ picket fence that my father installed in 1953. I saved a lot of the original 3/4 x 4” pickets.... I couldn’t let them go. 50 years of hard service of being pounded by baseballs and basket balls and all the South Georgia summer sun. Only a few had rot on the bottom where leaves had gotten piled up against them. These boards were pine that had been treated with creosote and after the numerous layers of old oil paint was scraped off the still looked green. Lumber purchases now wouldn’t last 10 years. Boy I miss me some creosote wood! I plan of taking these remaking pickets and constructing a fence around my central air conditioner. Maybe I will knock off some of the flaking paint, maybe not?

creosote = carcinogenic
There's a plume of creosote (railroad tie treatment) in the ground near the old Union Pacific rail depot near downtown Houston and Lukemia cases there are 5 times normal rates.Last edited by LCHIEN; 01-25-2021, 09:57 PM.Loring in Katy, TX USA
