Treated lumber for bird house
One of my 4-H wood working kids turned up with treated lumber for
making a bird house. It's the new stuff, AC2-- not CCA -- but I still don't trust the new stuff. I'm in the process of telling him why that is a bad idea, and to use just about anything else instead -- even cheap pine with a good latex exterior paint for protection. Although it is touted as being "less toxic," that still doesn't put my mind at ease. Personally, I wouldn't work with it indoors, use it with animals (birds) or let kids handle it much. I certainly wouldn't want to finish sand the stuff. Am I being too cautious, as the kid's parents seem to think I am?
