termite prevention?

[gtill]

Way back at the last century, any goods, cattle, wood etc was dropped of ships and floated to shore in Mahu Kona "harbor" North Kohala side! The cattle and horses swam in, but building materials floated (or sank) in the harbor till the owner could pick them up. I painted a building in Kapaau for it's 100th birthday. A kitchen and clubhouse was built in the back of the property, from the old Hawi Jail which was even older! Most of both buildings were pine, and had never seen chemicals, just seasalt! The building is Tong Wo, and it was 100 years old in 1975!
