I have two containers with oak (?) flooring. I have a roll around



Hey, Steve.

You need to watch out for one thing, and I mean this.

1) those floors aren't oak, they're usually a tropical mahogany or
mahogany-like wood. By themselves, their sawdusts are somewhat
poisonous.

2) almost all containers that originated in China (and most do, sorry),
have floor wood that has been saturation-treated with Chlordane. It's a
"hard" poison that will not deteriorate in the soil.

So don't breathe the sawdust! (but DO scratch it into the soil around
the foundation of your house... GGG)

Chlordane (unless Im thinking of something else) is also known to be a
bit hard on cats. Ive seen few cats around storage yards with cargo
containers, while next door, many cats.

The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned

the subject." Grey Ghost
