I went thru the whole pile of western ceder at Lowes last week...every peice, and I mean every one, had so much bug damage it was useless! There were still some living borers of some sort in some of it :'( I wouldnt even use that in the barn....Brian

As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up ways to kill one another.Why do you think we invented politics and religion.
