I think Diesel and old Motor Oil as a sealant is the straightest way to poison the ground water in your area. If you plan to install a well near to your old bathhouse i would try to keep my water as clean as possible.

Thats not a bad point....my only argument would that all Good Stains are oil based and that's all diesel and motor oil are.....So you are basically just making your own stain.....at a fraction of the price. plus its soaking into the wood, not the ground, But I understand what you are saying

We've been doing that for years here in Australia with the motor oil we put it on our wooden fences

Thank you! You too!

The sealer you mentioned, I have used it for years. Best results is when your wood is very dry, so it lets it soak in really good. Keeps insects out, repels water. The down side... Wood siding is a ire hazard, this just multiplies the fire issues. And, it "smells" for a good while.You can retreat it every five years or so. I have used it for fence posts, and for trailer decking. and a few animal shelters.

Diesel and used motor oil has been used as a wood preservative for a long time. On the outside I would think that any aromas will dissipate after awhile

I don't think it has that issue......most of the good stains are oil based anyway so they are in theory flammable too.

I seen the episode with the mixture for a preservative. Kerosene or diesel stinks and comboed with dirty oil is not any better. Also it'll make the cabin burn faster if there's a fire!

Don't worry Anita we have plans, everything is going to work out!

I wouldn't call it "poop my pants" exciting or other devious things I love to say for the exception of youtube telling me not to curse or not to ..... they make the rules and some day there will be a publisher who puts a rating on a channel like, get the kids out of the room cause we are having a shower party where everyone washes someones girls backsides.... as for me, I was all the sides as they get narely too. I say to never do a half of a job. I am not that kind of person who says " Well maybe or the if your the only person in the world who I would give a okay on this. I do understand the word no so no one has to tell me that no means maybe. So why should we make other peoples rules our own rules. I therefore think I should see if this shower is big enough for a more than one. ... shower room. Therefore my wife and I would wash each others hair in the shower, her hair hit midway on her backside and mine was close to it. The only time my hair was short was when I was in the army. Of course being a mechanic on greasy cars and trucks took a lot of water by myself to wash the oils out but she could get my hair washed and I would then do her's because my hair would turn the walls and everything black for a bit. So a demonstration of how well this shower works would be nice. I seldom took a morning shower with the wife because I might either be late or not even show up... just too tired from doing a great job in getting freshened up. I had my own shower on the back porch so I could get clean enough to enter the house and lots of times my wife would surprise me with taking a shower in that very cold outdoor shower with me. I really do miss those great times. Painting the cabin with a oil can be really pretty as it brings out the different colors and grains in the wood and it would always look natural like .... Hmm, a look of being there for a good many years and just in a way it would also look like it had just been built as well and that was after it had been done this way for a good many years. If you decide on this look, do it before the weather gets real hot as it will stink like no ones business. Plus a fart would set it afire. I have seen it done on a warm day in the winter months if its going to be above freezing for say a week or so. Take a piece of wood and apply this mixture to it during this time of year and look to see how it drys outside. It looks so weird if you use clean oil, so blacker the better as in oil from a place that people have their car serviced. I would say that your going to treat all the fence posts on your farm as most will not give nor sell it to you if they know its going on a home.
