Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 839,294 filed Jun. 25, 2013, the content of which is incorporated herein by this reference and is not admitted to be prior art with respect to the present invention by mention in this cross-reference section.BACKGROUND[0002]Treated lumber, also referred to as pressure-treated wood, is lumber treated with a preservative to prevent the lumber from rotting and from consumption by insects. Treated lumber is used in many construction projects including fence posts and deck posts, mailbox posts, light posts, arbors, residential building foundations, and many others. Treated lumber is known to shrink over time. After installation, a fence post of treated lumber that has shrunk can make the resulting fence unstable as the shrunken fence post may loosen and wobble in its installation location. For example, a pressure-treated wood post set into a concrete foundation may event...
