Subfloor w/ high Moisture content
Published (2009-12-23 10:33:00)
I agree Pete it is odd; but I suspect that he used the same one to get the lower readings in the adjacent condos. There has to be some sort of moisture input that is specific to this particular unit somehow. You are right though - it is a a mystery and does not make sense.

MCA vs MCQ pressure treating

Why do you think that vinyl coil is not as effective as aluminum coil as a termite barrier? And, why did you nix copper for ACQ? I think both conditions are OK.

MCA vs MCQ pressure treating
Published (2009-12-24 13:49:00)
A termite MAY decide to bore into a piece of dimensional synthetic lumber to make a home for itself, but would it decide to gnaw through a sheet of plastic, or would it just try to build a mud-tube around it . . . just like they do with metal termite guards? Methinks you are thinking this one to death. Hell, the cements in the masonry will probably eat up the aluminum and copper before something in the wood does. If you really want to avoid...

I have made many posts over the years supporting what Robert has just said, the best sources are the CHE&J as well as Greenpeace . With cities and countries all over Europe banning or limiting it one would have to be blind not to know the consequences of using it. Strange comment for a guy profiteering off the latest lead hysteria, PVC is a much more deadly product than lead, of course maybe he's looking forward to giving classes...

I don't know why you posted this in Buiding Science - sounds more like science fiction.
Did you have the built-up LVL sized for a 237.5 plf uniformly distributed load as well as a 5875 lb off-center point load?
How are the two steel beams connected now?
Why don't you fill out your user profile so we'll know what planet you're from?

I can't help much on the various pros & cons of MCQ vs. MCA treated wood. Of course each of the producers thinks their process is best. Like you've found, the manufacturers claim that both treatments are far less corrosive than either CCA or ACQ, but Simpson still requires SS hangers & other fastenings. How much this is Simpson trying to sell more SS, and how much is science is a ...

Even for a Grinch like me, who tries his best to ignore the mad frenzy of consumption that we call Christmas, this is brilliant.
A very warm solstice to you and all.

What are you planning for insulation?

It very well could be sediment that is settled on the bottom; thus making it harder for the burner to heat the water adequately. That is fairly common and quite likely considering the stories you told of your water.

Bummer - seems like something local in that unit is causing the elevated moisture levels. Put on your detectives hat and start searching. What is the RH in the unit? Do the other units have carpet?
What type of flooring are you wanting to install?

If it's a vacation home, will it be heated year-round? Properly set up, you could just heat the crawl a bit to keep the house in operating mode without a total shut-down, and with the limited volume, that might not cost too much.
In summer, you'll probably need dehumidification. All crawl spaces need dehumidification.

I know there was a thread started by FIGHT ( Gordon ) years ago and he started leakywindows.com. I read his story and I thought he was speaking about my house. I have built 20-25 houses but always used Anderson windows. I was convinced to use Kolbe and now I want to kill myself. My house his destroyed from water damage!!! I was about 3 weeks away from being finished before the first NE storm hit....
