They got the bugs killed off and the wood isnt available anymore . This was in a restaurant in Lakeland Florida. Life ain't supposed to be easy.

The cypress holds up well to moisture and many of the old homes, barns, etc. were built with it. Termites don't like it. Last edited by Davexx1; 08/10/21 08:38 PM.
