[VAC] Re: More frame off stuff



Those who work with CCA treated lumber more than once tend to wear at
least dust masks because of the CCA and the resin from the wood that can
be irritants or worse. Since its been kiln dried after treatment,
foundation grade should release far less chemicals. And after a floor is
covered with some floor covering it should help to keep the treatment
inside the floor deck.

But a concern about CCA is not out of line. However it doesn't rot.
Cypress planks might be another alternative though cypress is a bit on
the soft side for a floor.
