[IBC] TreeHouse follow-up!
Dear IBCers:
A while back I posted a problem here on the IBC about the rug in my green house (tree house deck) staying quite wet, and I was concerned about the wooden deck possibly rotting. I had written an article with the help of Jerry Meislik, about building my tree house over an existing deck. This is a follow-up for anyone wanting to know how I made out. Several weeks ago, after moving all my trees out doors, I turned off the humidifier; let the rug dry out (I left the oscillating fan run and had all the windows open). The rug dried out and the rug was sliced up for the trash. After four years with the indoor-outdoor carpet, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the deck was in near perfect condition. When I had put down the rug, I had forgotten that the deck had been treated the year before with Thompson’s water sealer. This past weekend, I treated the deck with the same product and will be obtaining a new indoor-outdoor rug shortly…. Hope this helps anybody contemplating enclosing an existing deck. If Nic Steenhout reads this; he might want to add the above to the existing article…. Carl L.

[IBC] TreeHouse follow-up!
FYI,
several years ago when I had a store I used "astro turf" on the floor. Seems to last forever and dries nicely after watering. Comes in several colors.
