Ok...will make this as short as I can.
Dad always used white oak on the farm wagons and the floors in the barn and out buildings. Never had a problem and it, it lasted forever. I still have some of his work on a couple of hay wagons and the barn lofts.
I had my nephew who owns a saw mill in Indiana cut and rip me a load when I brought dad's truck to Texas. I needed a good floor in the gooseneck and a friend needed some for his trailers. I thought that was the way to go.
I was over at my friends over the weekend...and his trailer floor looks like it has been there 50 years. Big sections rotted out, looks like it is rotting in long brown strips. It will have to be replaced this winter for sure.
Mine is ok...looks ok, same lumber, the trailer just sets inside most of the time with a tractor or 2 on it.
What gives? Did we do something wrong?
Need help on this one for sure.
