Championship golf course bridges South of 466a are being replaced.
Treated wood, 10 years.
:popcorn::popcorn:

:MOJE_whot: You must be lying, just on this thread it was said treated wood lasts nearly forever.

Considering we would never come close to finishing a bottle of gin in 6 months there is no difference.

Will they tear the structures down under the cover of darkness or do it during the day on the 19th of May ?

At this point do not think it matters as they will be coming down and apparently the people that used inferior materials will get away scot free.

Windmill top is gone.

The following was received by me from the Village District manager Kenny Blocker ->

Thanks for tracking this down.

It's funny to read the "false" items and then go back and read all the negative nellies & their ignorant posts.

Windmill and tower never had golf carts and mowers running over them 7 days a week for ten years, unlike the bridges!:icon_wink:

But the mill & tower did have dogs and old people peeing on them at ground level (notice, that's where the rot is). :clap2:

When you Gotta-go, you Gotta-go!:icon_wink:

I'll enter it as Exhibit #1-5 in the official record.

Interesting document but one question.

If heartwood is so good why is it not more commonly used for outdoor structures?

When I rebuilt an outdoor stair rail in our old home used pressure treated lumber and 25 years later it was still intact.

If heartwood is so great why did it fail so quickly?

You need to educate yourself on treated lumber of today, not 20 years ago. It's changed.

Bonifay, Belle, Evans bridges made out of treated wood are being replaced.....same vintage as Brownwood.

The columns that support the grandstand roofs at Brownwood are what looks to be the same kind of wood. Unless the wood is decorative and there is steel underneath.
