First World Problems...

The patio is shielded from the sun by a tall and dense canopy of trees. It's lovely, but these chairs take longer to dry after a rain than is normal, so they quickly pick up a patina of green mold. It is easily scrubbed off, but it is a task that one cannot ignore...like I did all of last summer.

I figure the best way to deal with this is to rent a Caterpillar 350 and dig down about 25 feet, dump in the furniture, then fill with gravel.

Well, they had three products, and all are algicides or some sech. NEVER ACID. I thought one poof was gonna faint when I asked.
I'll hunt for some websites I got, but this "curator" spritzed it down, waited about 1/2 hour, then proceeded to take off about 1/4" of grime with a plastic putty knife.
They all said, last thing you do is spritz it down again. Let rain take care of alot of it.
Spritz, wait. Have water. Spritz, wait... I'll try to find the sites.
I'm interested cause we found a G-G-G- granddad grave from 1851, (on his farm, off in the now brush). He has a wonderful stone (dunno of what), but the stones of 2 guys buried subsequent to him are unreadable.

No one but a preaching clergyman can revel in platitudes, truisms, and untruisms, (sic) and yet receive, as his undisputed privilege, the same respectful demeanour as though words of impassioned eloquence, or persuasive logic, fell from his lips."

148 “Banned in California”

Some years ago on an Audio/Hi-Fi forum website a question was raised by a member, he wanted to know if there was a Non-Toxic vinyl record cleaner available. He was concerned about airborne or aerosol Lead poisoning.

Under discussion is “Discwasher” fluid, in those cute little 2 fl oz. red bottles, comprised of distilled water, and detergent.

I couldn’t figure out what he was on about. Then, it Dawned on me. California Warnings. Water that runs through pipes, any product probably has to have a Toxic Lead warning. The poor kid has been subject to whack job conditioning and paranoia since the womb.

He was afraid of inhaling Lead particles from the evaporation of vinyl record cleaner. This is what these MFers have done to people, warped their minds into complete uselessness or ability to think, much less function

From etymonline.com (a great time sink!):

gazebo(n.)
1752, supposedly a facetious formation from gaze + -bo, Latin first person singular future tense suffix (as in videbo "I shall see"), on model of earlier belvedere "cupola," from Italian, literally "a fair sight." But according to OED perhaps rather a corruption of some oriental word.

178 A Reddit post was going around X this morning by a European guy who was complaining that his American girlfriend left him and went back to New Jersey because he wouldn't let her buy an air conditioner.

People rated it "plausible" except for the implication that there is anything on Earth worse than Joisey.

190 A pressure washer. A couple of days to dry out in the sun and then rubbing teak oil finish on them will make a world of difference.
If the furniture is pine, then the wood is too soft for a good pressure washing. Making the wood surface rough and grainy. Use a lite pressure wash setting, multiple times. A wood oil finish will make a huge difference.

>Creosote is nasty shit. I once used a chainsaw to cut up a bunch of railroad ties to create a retaining wall because I was building are horse stable. I was wearing shorts and if you get any of that sawdust or chips on you or in your clothing, you will pay.

199 Grok is helpful:
Noah brought two of each unclean animal and seven (pairs) of each clean animal (plus birds) onto the Ark, according to the Bible.Key details from Genesis (the standard account):

"Genesis 6:19-20 (initial command):
God tells Noah to bring two of every kind of living creature (male and female) onto the ark — birds, animals, and creeping things — to keep them alive.
Genesis 7:2-3 (more specific instruction): “Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate, and seven pairs of the birds of the heavens also, male and female...”

Genesis 7:8-9 and 7:14-16 describe them entering as commanded."

200 I seem to recall maybe Copper sulfate for wood treatment is persona non grata.

For things like wood decking, posts and similar anything that actually works, is by definition toxic, since that is the idea to preclude wood rot.

So naturally, it follows in modern U.S.A. we can only purchase shitty lumber with crappy, ineffective preservatives.
Posted by: Common Tater

Nope, that was arsenic used in pressure treated lumber. Comes out greenish when it ages and apparently kids were too stupid not to lick it or wash their hands before sticking their paws in their mouths. Copper wood treatment products nowadays use. From wiki, In copper naphthenate, the methyl groups would be replaced by longer chain, often cyclic and chiral hydrocarbons of copper acetate.

204 FWIW, creosote is still legal in the US, just checked. Illegal in some states, here is what Brave AI says,

"United States: The EPA classifies creosote as a restricted-use pesticide, limiting its sale and application to certified professionals for industrial wood preservation. Several states, including New York and Georgia, have banned its sale, burning, or use in specific contexts like biomass energy production due to health and pollution concerns. "

205 “Mummy” was still part of the U.S. pharmacopeia until the 1920s.

There were a lot of them in Egypt, they would burn them as fuel in train locomotives. Someone got it in their head that they would cure what ails ya when ingested. So you could buy ground up 3 thousand year old dead guys in tablet form, to make your hair grow back, or ague remedy, etc.

I remember creosote smell from my 'baby days' in N'Awlins. Seems everyone was creosotin' something or other every few days or so, 'cos the smell was always in the air (esp. in summer). Didn't bother us … what bothered us was the malathion smell from the 'mosquito trucks' that drove thru the streets at nite in the summer …

213 When I called on the old Johns-Manville plant in Bogalusa, the smell of CCA (copper-chrome-arsenic) was always in the air - and the plant had a mandatory drive-thru wash point you used on entry and on exit. Stunk like hell in that plant, too. Creosote, tho', was something we used to smell a lot in the summer, when phone poles were installed. I don't recall any creosoting plants in the Uptown area or along the river then. Maybe it was just from the lumber in the storage yards or the poles … dunno.
