*double walled. *wood that does not look as aged.
apologize on errors.
Be sure and treat the wood for any bugs etc that might be hiding or living inside the wood. I have used vinegar to clean off old wood and liked the look of it afterwards.

Use the newer looking wood for floors or deck.

Thanks y'all. Gale, I am trying to convince handsome we have enough to do both the walls and the floor. He wants to get a professional to tell him though. Lol.
