Pressure treated lumber is treated with creosote, the same substance they use on telephone poles. I only use it for the base that comes into contact with ground. It last longer and will not be harmed by insects. Yarak
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away
thats what i thought my dad ment on using it. but apparnetly he wants to use it as siding etc... im not sure why...? but creostote, will that harm the birds? hmm what is that stuff.. *googles*

maybe the siding would be ok if you lined the inside with plywood or plastic. i only used it for the bast frame. i really like the idea of hardipannels for the walls on the outside. they are made of concrete at half an inch thick. paint it and it will take a tornado to take your mews down.
