This is not the place to post this question I'm sure but I also do not know the correct place.
It's time to resurface my deck, all of the frame and support structure is very sound and good for another 20 years, but the decking boards have past their useful life. And I want to paint the new deck instead of staining the boards, thus my question, Can I use untreated lumber if I an going to paint the wood and none of the deck has any soil contact?
If I use treated lumber I will have to wait at least a year to paint as the fresh decking will have such high moisture content.
Please give me the benefit of your collective wisdom
thanks, Wileyboy
