He's also wrong about Dry Rot. Dry rot is so called because (A) it requires
drier conditions than wet rots and (B) it transports its own moisture and
attacks dry timber. That's why it is necessary to eradicate it, not just cut
off the source of moisture as he says.

If you cut out the source of moisture, where is it going to carry its
water from?

This is true only of wet rots.

No it isn't. I can't really believe you are what you claim to be when
you are so clueless. However I can believe you get much of your income
from the timber treatment lobby, as you have clearly swallowed their
stories hook, line and sinker.
