ctyankee,

Not really a discrepancy Eye-wink.  The house was once white, at least in the original picture we have taken circa 1900. It was probably white-wash. The next picture we have was taken around 1940 and there's no sign of any paint, bare wood.  The picture was of my wife's grandmother and her father as a small child. Nor has it ever been painted during my father-in-laws life, he's 70. So, it's been at least 70 years since the house had paint on it.

Yes, I'm concerned with moisture too. That's why I'm looking for suggestions, I don't want to create create moisture areas. The rot is an issue but, termites love moisture and they are a more immediate danger. How do you insulate the walls and keep moisture out?

DC,

Thanks, I'll check into FSC lumber. What do you think about insulation and moisture in the walls?

 

Anyone,

What product will insulate but not draw dampness or create moist areas?
