About this episode
The episode discusses deck maintenance and the importance of selecting the right wood for replacement boards, along with addressing moisture issues in hardwood floors.
The conversation starts with a discussion on deck maintenance, specifically the importance of choosing the right type of wood for replacement boards. The speaker explains that pressure-treated wood can be a good option, but it's essential to consider the moisture content of the wood before staining it. Gary using kiln-dried yellow pine, which has a moisture content below 15%, making it ideal for staining. We also address a common issue with hardwood floors, specifically Bruce hardwood floors, which can buckle due to excessive moisture. Gary advises against using a dehumidifier as a solution, as it may not be effective in the long run. Instead, they suggest considering alternative flooring options that are more resistant to moisture. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
