it requires that you use either treated wood or redwood or some other wood with a natural resistance. and there are others. by the way, it's not just redwood. cypress, cedar. >> one of the largest structures in san francisco is made up with alaska cedar. >> let me ask you here. anybody know where this very large structure made of alaskan yellow czar, a beautiful -- cedar elegant structure. anybody know? you know? >> at&t park? >> at&t park. give this man a ticket to the ballgame. because down at the ballpark -- >> is a coke bottle made out of alaskan cedar. >> it's a giant coke bottle with alaskan cedar ribs and pat was involved in it and -- >> they fabricated it and sailed it down the bay, weighed about 150,000 pounds. it's a big coke bottle. >> and what do we have here? what can you tell us about this stuff? >> treated material that we use for framing, for decks. people use this for decking. right here, it looks like it's treat on the ends. which i guess you're going to get to treating cut ends on material that's freshly treated. that's the new stuff though. >> yeah. >> and this is

where the wood breathes better. so, wood gets -- water gets behind stucco. the worst dry rot is always behind a brick or a stucco facade. >> brick has a special problem and a special reason for you to make sure that it is waterproof and that's because it has metal fasteners that keep the brick attached to the building. if the fasteners rust, the brick is just sitting there and in an earthquake the whole brick can fall off. >> you should always have a six-inch separation between the lowest shingle or piece of siding and ground contact. and that should be a concrete foundation there. >> so it's probably -- there probably is a foundation but they figured out a way to extend those all the way down to the ground which is a problem. so the reason you want to have it up from the ground is that we have a lot of water splash in heavy rain and they're going to get wet and also that what happens is water through capillary action and other methods will actually get sucked up through -- behind those shakes and shingles, if they can go all the way down to the ground. dan

those are wood stairs in a wood structure. much better solution. they're also protected because they're inside. so they're not going to have as much of a problem. they still have a joint there which is a leak problem that has to be caulked. this is sort of an interesting exercise. as you walk down the street i want to you look at the buildings carefully and see if you can see the space between the buildings in san francisco. and here we have a space that's about 3 fourth of an inch or an inch or something like that -- 3/4 of an -- 3 fourth of an inch or an -- 3/ of an inch or an inch, or something like that. you do a roof and your neighbor does a roof and you put a piece of flashing between the building and that keeps water out of that space between the buildings. water gets down there between the buildings and it's extremely difficult to repair dry rot inside that space. you have to take the inside wall out to get to it. we also see a couple of other things happening here. we see a down spout from a drain and those need to just be checked to make

they're not just wood. but they may be made of concrete, for example, the gray stairs here are probably concrete at the bottom. often there's brick underneath that's holding up the stair itself and then there's wood for some of the members. in an earthquake, all these things move at different speeds. they all expand and contract with the change of the weather and seasons at different speeds. and it means that it's very hard to flash and maintain all these different materials where they're working together. >> well, flash and ignore for five, 10, 20 years. something like that becomes an annual maintenance project. >> so you look at a lot of these? >> a lot of those. and again, out to prevention. the wooden exterior stairs, the older ones, you need to keep them painted and sealed. you can't let the water be seeping in. the south side where you hit the sun, that's what breaks down the caulking and the sealant paint. you need to pay particular attention and you may only be able to paint your house every five, s

old growth red wood and this has about 60, 65 growth rings to the ifrj. weighs as much as i pieceef green douglas fir. it's dense. and quite hard. this is something of a quality that you just will not go buy in any lumbar yard today. >> it's a piece of timber. you see the rings and by looking at the rings imagine how big the tree was. okay. see how tight they are. the tree was quite large. if you look at this one, it's hard to perceive where the circle of the tree rings actually were. imagine this tree, it was huge. >> that's douglas fir. it's funny today we have modern engineered lumber this is natures perfect natural lumber. this is the spencer house, this is a section of an old capital on the top of the column holding the center span being in the basement. everything in that house all the framing is of this quality. we would make molding out of it or stair treads today. as a result that house after 106 years of earthquakes is still plum and level and you know in amazing shape because -- >> if you look this is a modern 2 by 4 you see the rings. this one
