Dan see the October 1998 issue of the _Journal_ of_ Light_ Construction_, article entitled. "Insect Infestations in Buried Foams. GeneL.
*...well? What did it say? Don't keep us in suspense like this! For all of us that don't have the October '98 issue of etc. etc., can you summarize it for us?
*I posted this before, but it seems to have terminated the conversation...Was it a figment of my imagination, or did I read about a rigid, compressed fiberglass insulation board that is claimed to be suitable for underground installation and that is impervious to insect infestations? If it exists, what is the name of the stuff and where is it available? (I searched the net and got zero hits on any terms I could think of.) Thanks
