The whole thing
with this treated lumber irks me to no end. What we had worked just
fine.

Whattya mean by "what we had"? Are you referring to the older types of
treated lumber?


YES


OK. Well, it worked fine in mechanical terms, but unfortunately, stupid
people used it in places where kids would come into direct contact with it
often. Since nobody can control what stupid people do, the only option was
to change the product.

Ah, so you've met my brother. Bought him (and his wife and kids) a
"build your own picnic table" kit for Christmas a number of years ago.
Had all the metal framing and hardware, just add wood.

Yep, he told me later that he used that "green wood that won't rot."
