   Treated with what?

   Fireproofing?

   Cabot's oil?

   Pressure treade for bugs and rot?

   What is the brand?

   It's been around here (B.C.) forever. I have used it before,would use

   it again. It does have a slight pressure treated  color to it, but it will

   silver up.

      Last time I did any roofing (about a year ago), I think I paid $220

   Canadian for it.                       regards

   I do think the product holds up better/longer,but I am a carpenter

   first, so I don't deal with shakes/shingles day in day out. On my clients

   houses with p.t.shakes put on in 1980/81 ,the roofs still look like they

   have a lot of live left. Some of the non p.t. roofs in the same area have

   been replaced . If it meant a couple thousand more over a whole house

   I would use the p.t.........I would just use good galv. nails if price is

   playin' in......probably will out last a cedar roof.

         Wish I was more computer savy I would post some pic's to show

   you what I'm babbling on about,sorry..........regards

   If treated with ACQ, I would think SS is the way to go, IMO.  And I hear ya on the price, but what are you gonna do...

   I never met a tool I didn't like!
