You only mention mold (not all mold is bad for humans, BTW, not even all black mold - don't believe everything you see in the media - if you're really concerned, have yours tested) in your list of issues, then mention that you want to go with PT lumber to prevent pest and mold issues. Unless you've got termites (and PT won't fix that), not sure what kind of pests you've got that are destroying your walls. Beavers, maybe? | |
