Just in time to rebuild my deck

I do a lot of woodworking projects and sometimes they are outside. Pressure-treated lumber has been my friend but the chemical cocktails used to treat them are pretty nasty.

Then along comes TimberSIL. This is a cool new sodium silicate and soda ash preserved wood with a non-poisonous preservative.

Like most materials meant to last a long time, the truth will only be known many years from now, but this is very promising. Looks like it's comparably priced with traditional PT lumber.

Too bad I have to drive to St. Louis to get it.
