Post
My porch is enclosed, but the windows need replaced. The porch sits on top of the crawl space, the crest of the house had a basement. I can’t afford new windows, but my neighbor builds decks and he offered an incredible deal on removing my windows, tearing out the current wood floor on my porch and replacing that wood with treated wood that he uses on decks. My concern with tearing out the windows is the joists in the crawl space getting moisture from the rain and snow that blows onto the porch and possible seep down . Do you think the treated wood that my neighbor proposed is a good idea?
