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.
