Hmmmm? I think I feel an inspiration for the February tutorial coming on :-)

Yes Gary, the deck is sopping wet.
It is located in Inverness in West Marin, in the middle of a Douglas fir forest. So in addition to the rot problems we have termites, carpenter ants, and powderpost beetles. Keeping the wood from becoming a food source is a major challenge!
Here is another bubble exercise. - Andrew

they now make plastic deck material... It is comparable to treated lumber in price... But it has a half life like most plastics... I would be cautious about using it if you get really cold (SD cold, not a balmy 32 degrees). When it gets really cold plastics get brittle.

just so I am on topic... here ae some quickie bubbled shower curtains....

Actually I did build just such a plactic composite deck for my brother last summer.
On the whole, it is easy to work with, but the material is very heavy, and lacks structural strength.( it tends to sag and needs extra support)
After seeing all the insect damage and decay on my Mom's deck it seemed like the way to go.
Great March tutorial on Bubble making Gary! Thank You! - Andrew
