In search of 40 planks (16' x 5" x 1 1/4") - 293 sq. ft. in discontinued Trex 'Contour' Series - older Winchester Gray with wood grain surface. NOT newer 'Select' series (too dark & different dimensions). Prefer unused planks. Located in the Western States but can pick up or arrange for shipping. Sample of what I am searching for below.

The long list of Class Actions against trex,some still going on, as well as thousands of very unhappy Customers are easy to find.This " documentation " is all over the web. Its a given trex has been a big seller.Reason being they advertised a lot back then using decks that did not exist.They no longer can say" No Maintaince " after being forced to quit by the Law. Small wonder their customers did not keep up with maintanice that wasent required by their adverstising. A big differance between trex and other soft composites like Moisture Shield is the cooling down process. T hits the boards with water, the material is on the truck in 15 min, Moisture Shield cools down their product for 7 hours naturaly. This goes a long way explaining the trex mold coming from inside the product.No amount of cleaning will stop it. Its also a given the adverage Customer is buying manmade so they dont have to do any or very little maintance. There is at least as much work keeping manmade clean and bright as there is keeping finish on a wood deck.It is possible to use outdoor finish on composite with good results far as keeping maintaince down but of course including this fact in the Co info would blow the whole idea of manmade.

Thank you Jane. You have a lovely porch too. I love your willow furniture. You are lucky to have trees to shade it. Ours gets morning sun and can get quite warm very early one. One of these days we want to close in our sleeping porch off the master bedroom with storm type windows all around to make it more of a three season porch. We've not used it in years. Used to go out there in the evenings. I used Windows Paint to the above virtuals. I have an original version of PhotoShop that came with one of those pens (by Bamboo) that a friend gave to me since they already had PhotoShop. I think they run around a hundred dollars or so. I've not looked at them for a couple years now. Both Adobe and Corel have free online trials of their photo editors. I've tried them both and liked different things about each one so I never made up my mind which to buy. Now that I have the Adobe from my friend I should ask for the Corel for Christmas from my hubby.

Agreeable Gray by sherwin williams is actually the color I would suggest! I like Pure white for the trim. For the rest of this, I am going to make a list of suggestions. tile: Baja Tecate (12x24) with sahara beige grout (matches agreeable gray wonderfully) carpet: ride it out -whisper (shaw floors) stain- weathered wood. It's a gray stain. I would do a heavy stain on shaker style cabinets. (I know you're wanting white, but this is just for thought). perhaps bathroom cabinets? cabinetry hardware: Remington with barpull hardware (something like Hickory Hardware Bar Pull in stainless steel finish) They're very clean looking, and I love having actual handles instead of the little knobs on cabinets. countertops (kitchen): viatera quarts- cirrus backsplash: Nove Hex- Steel Mix with frost grout kitchen sink: siligranite- single bowl -anthracite black (I LOVE the single bowl sinks) bathroom vanity tops and showers: gray swirl (I don't have more information on this at the moment, but I can post pictures of what I am referring to) for lighting, door knobs, faucets, etc: keep things brushed nickel and chrome
