Al,
O S B is oriented Strand Board. It seems to be a cross between plywood
and particle board. It is made up of long strands of wood, but rather
than being randomly glued together, the strands are aligned in specific
patterns.
The How Stuff Works article claims that plywood and OSB are
Does OSB have advantages over plywood?

The main advantage of OSB over plywood is that it is usually cheaper.
I think plywood is probably a bit better structurally. Also, some OSB is
made without formaldehyde based glues, so can be considered greener than
plywood.

Hi Dan,
Your description is the very reason I do not use OSB. We live in a world
that you can not stop moisture or water. You can not control it either. All
a home owner can do is channel it.
Now that being said, I would think any paint should close it off and reduce
the effects of moisture.
Hay dan,
I like the webbing idea. I think I will try that myself. Great job!

hi does anyone have the address or web site for vita mix?
i have one of there blenders from the early 70s and they say it has a life
time garentee on them so i would like to get it worked over.
i wonder if they still are all metal construction?
this thing is built like a tank
in Minnesota
If you are using this over a basement floor and moisture can be an issue, I
would exchange it for the plywood you ordered originally. Why get into
sealing the OSB and still have an issue with moisture?

Jim,
Here you go. That's great the one you got has a lifetime warranty. I just
ordered the 5200 model and it came with a 7 year parts service warranty.
Let me know how you make out.

In many older homes that stuff was used for flooring. that is why
say back in the 70's when a mobile home was new it smelled so bad. I
used to pick the dumps back then and a moble home plant was nearby and
they dumped off sections of that over glued board. brought home the
stuff to
also there was a book written by a Doctor Alfred Zamm who talked
about sick homes . It is moisture and heat which brings out the
fumes more in that artificial boarding. If someone has allergies it
might be best to leave that material at the stores. Lee

Dan, a few years back, you remove something from your basement. Was it a
feul tank or boiler? Once you got it out of the basement, how did you get
rid of it? Another words, how did you get it down to the street level?

When the contractor works he gets things done. It isn't just the weather

After playing with the ratcheting screwdriver I found that there is an

Let's see.
I probably didn't give as much thought to hauling things up to, and down
from, my house when I purchased it as I should have. I can't say I hate
my house, although, when I am contemplating a load of lumber, or a load of
cement, I do think somewhat unfondly of it. But I do like our

Betsy! Dan can't fall back on the excuse that he was full of youthful
stupidity and impetuousness
because he and Teresa only bought their castle in the clouds about 4 years
ago; mightn't have even
