MITES. Speaking of mites, are these mites? They were only right by the door. Some had wings. I was already thinking of whitewashing/painting the loft floor, so now I guess I should. :/

I have great success buying the paint for decking. It lasts for many years.

I have some red paint that is for barns? I'll have to look at it again.

I used it over 3/4 treated plywood. I looked at vinyl flooring but I thought this was better. I painted the floor with it before I set the walls up! So it goes all the way under the wall plates.

Also provides a vapor barrier for the treated plywood.

Camping, I think it would be better to paint the floors and the wall plates and the studs and the siding up about 12 inches.


Similar to how in a custom shower pan they put the rubber liner up the wall also

I had planned to stain both sides of the boards. That's good enough for the siding? Or white wash is better? I didn't want the white wash to seep through the cracks and onto the stain.

I think if I was going to go to the trouble to seal the floor from oyster I would also sealed the plates studs and of the walls also.

It would make for easier spray hose cleanout.
