Been extremely hot and humid with 3 straight days of rain and heat indexes around 100. Kins looking good however found an 8" section of rot on the main of my 1444. Scraped everything rotten I could see which went all the way into the cavity. Section removed is about 1/2" wide by 8" long. Sprayed section with peroxide solution and waited till foaming quit then dusted heavily inside and out with captan. Placed fan on and covered with plastic end table as there is a chance of more rain tonight. Hopefully I can stop the rot and move on. Any other suggestions please feel free to email me.
