    Hello Jennifer, Richard & Patrick! Richard i wasnt envying you when you was digging that hard clay and shale ! Made me think of all the blisters and calluses ive had over the years digging hard red clay with a shovel And post hole digger and post hole 🕳️ spade like you was using. Gonna be a nice sawmill location but my question is are you gonna add sliding doors on a sliding rail to keep the weather off the sawmill ?

    You’re right in that the acid of the vinegar would probably penetrate and kill the mold, but I might also have to wire brush it out because if there’s any remnants left in there, it may still darken the color compared to the other. I’ve learned my lesson not to cover anything even partially down one side with a tarp because it can create problems With mold and mildew

    I can certainly try that, but I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with the bleach. I think that I just didn’t use enough of it because it does well to clean and disinfect. But I think that it is running too deep in the wood for even the chemicals to get to it so I may have to get a wire brush to make the whole process move along a lot quicker because I think that it has entered the wood.

  • @raymondheckard234
    @raymondheckard2346 күн бұрын

    Richard the mold fibers have penetrated the wood and has started the decomposition. I was taught to burn all wood that mold has turned black, but there are a few ways to get the mold out or at least kill the fibers of the mold. Bleach Chlorine bleach can kill mold spores and other microbes, and remove stains. For tough mold stains on unsealed wood, you can mix 1/2 cup of bleach with 1 tablespoon of dishwashing liquid and 1 cup of warm water. Apply the solution with a soft brush, let it air dry, and buff with a soft cloth. Also Oxalic acid is best for spot-treating wood to remove set-in stains. You can find it at most hardware stores. Oxalic acid usually comes in powder form, which you can mix in with water when you're ready to use it. This method also works for finished and unfinished wood. Or try OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover to clean unfinished wood decks. Here are some tips for using OxiClean on unfinished wood: Prepare the solution: Follow the package instructions to mix the OxiClean into a solution. You can use a scoop to measure out 2-4 lines of OxiClean per gallon of water. For best results, mix until the OxiClean is completely dissolved. Apply the solution: You can apply the solution with a sponge, cloth, brush, or by pouring it directly onto the wood. Let it sit: Allow the solution to sit on the wood for 5-30 minutes. Scrub: Scrub the wood as needed. Rinse: Rinse the wood thoroughly with cool water and blot until dry. Work in small areas: When working with large surfaces, work in small sections so the solution doesn't dry on the wood. Use within 6 hours: Use the solution within 6 hours of preparing it.

When you tried pressure washing the wood, isis not remove the mold until it etched the wood past the depth of the spores. You may try a surface planer and remove the top layer of wood.
