Preserving Wood

Treated wood is wood that will last the weathering process of of the 4 seasons, the storms and the sun. When you build something of wood, you put your back into it, and you want it to last because of the time and effort and money you put into it. You don’t want it to weaken and rot and so on, from rain, or to be made brittle by the sun. So you make sure your wood is treated and properly preserved.

So if you put up a fence on your ranch for example, and you use wood, agricultural fence should be treated and sealed to preserve the wood. Else the effects of nature will over time be adverse to the wood, limiting the structures lifespan.

These are important facts to remember when building with wood, more so, where the wood is directly placed into an area with the elements.

The Fire In California

Filed under:News — posted by Tom on @ 8:41 pm

A firefighter in California with 21 years of experience was absolutely shocked by what he saw.  He said there were piles of smoldering ash next to homes that were in perfect condition. He thinks it is absurd how the fire will attack soem thing and not others, like it burns on a whimsy.

In San Diego county 513,000 residents have already been evacuated in this area which is hit hardest by the fire. The fire may yet spread and the numbers will likely rise higher.

The fire fighters are working to protect the homes that are left, but the fire is not yet controlled, and experts dont think it is possible to fight the fire until the winds die off.
