Termites and skirt framing damage
Posted: Tue May 29, 2007 7:36 pm
New to this forum and topic. So please have patience with my descriptions of my skirting question.
I had a pest inspection done on the my 1977 Skyline Homette. The inspector says their are termites working up the wood skirt framing and recommended the chemical treatment for the structure. He also suggested removing the damaged wood in the framing.
My question is would it be better to replace the framing with Trex or metal rather than wood. Or is there a wood that is better for termite area.
I am planning to have the termite treatment of course. Just would like to prevent further skirt frame issues.
Hope you can answer my question.
PS, I do have Mark's book and have learned alot from it.![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
