When they took the arsenic out of treated wood I noticed more warping on the green treated lumber.

(Meaning we get to rebuild the deck again and use even more wood.)

Gaia is going to be pissed.

Yeah, they had to take the arsenic out of the wood cuz those who eat carpet got a little to close to the wood.

The arsenic (CCA) treated lumber that killed young children even if they just looked at it is still available. You just need to go to a lot of trouble to get your hands on it. The stuff previously found in big box stores was .4 or .6 pcf. The really good stuff is 2.5 pcf. That was never in the big box stores. It’s still available too.

The marine grade, 2.5 pcf, is a very dark green, almost black color. If you’re near a coastal area, it’s easier to find.

You can always use recycled plastic composite lumber at twice the price and avoid the rot.
