Whenever a person has to paint an entire house exterior on a house as old and rickety as ours is, there's always rebuilding. I've torn about half of the deck rails on our bedroom deck out. Even though The remaining lumber that I'm not replacing isn't in top shape, I'm using treated timber. Why?

So you won't have to replace it again when you do replace the part you aren't replacing this year? Makes perfect sense to me. But then so does that first sentence I wrote, which might not make sense to anyone else.
