Hey, stabbing away at cleaning things up around the place. Making progress, sold that old wooden frame wagon and a M101 army trailer with a 600 or so gallon water tank on it that was an eyesore. Ran across some new T&G douglas fir siding I bought a couple years ago to rebuild the driveway gate (kept getting adjusted on the procrastination list). Told the tractor mechanic kid's dad what I had and he showed up today on his scooter with a little trailer full of tools. 2 hours later, the gate is almost done and will be finished up in the morning.
Anyway, For some reason I thought I had Larch and wasn't going to treat/paint it. Should I do anything to the fir to seal it. I like the way weather makes larch look but don't know what the fir will end up like. Pretty bright now and makes the place look like it's wearing highwater pants and white socks. Think a coat of stain would be OK on it or should I just let it weather? Sawmill guy says that larch should not be treated in an application like this, feel bad about asking him because I didn't buy the fir from him :roll:
