In the state of Washington, there are a few things we understand very well -- moisture/wood decay/rot and the song "Louie Louie". Did you know that, for years now, there has been a movement to turn "Louie Louie" into the Washington state song? The roots of the tune go back to northwest garage bands. At the front of this video, you will see my salute to this favorite among us Washingtonians. The rest of the video explains rot and conditions that are conducive to rot. Steven L.
