Thanks for the nice words, yall. I appreciate the well wishes.
Dangit, John! Ya got me wodering if its thick enough now! I thought about getting tarps, but the waterseal seemed like a better idea, even if it lasted about a month, and I could then put some back on.
I used two big ole cans soaking it. On the cat it says only one itty-bitty ole application will do it, but I wanted to see my reflection in it.
Even after two cans, you cant really tell I did anything to it. it feels sticky to the touch, thats bout it.
I got one more can though. Hopefully I can get walls up and a roof before too long. I talked to my neighbor over the fence who does construction and when I asked him about it, he asked me If I had ever seen houses with walls up and no roof just sitting there. I said I had.
He said they dont use treated lumber and those floors and walls get soaked everytime It rains. He said as long as youre steadily working towards putting the roof on the rest of it will be okay. If you leave it sitting for months on end then you could have a problem, but on my way to Lowe's I saw a new subdivision being built with half finished walls, no roofs, etc...theyre not using anything but standard looking wood.
Dont regular houses go through this all the time being built? I mean, they dont put a roof on overnight, and those incomplete houses get rained on.
I hope to be okay.
I covered every edge, every post, and anything that could be reached with a roller or a paintbrush.
I gotta go be the bad guy since they got Indiana Jones toys in their darned burger meal.
