Hi all,
we are having a loft conversion done and a lot of the materials were lifted on to the scaffold before the weekend. I was surprised to see it wasn't covered up. There is a some treated battons, but also a lot of what appears to be untreated timber which I think are for the floor joists, dormer frame etc and also a lot of OSB. (please see pictures)
Its been raining constantly for 3 days and none of it was covered up so it got absolutely saturated, dripping wet. Is this ok to use now? I would've thought it needs to be kept dry or at least allowed to dry out thoroughly before using. If it is used now and enclosed, is that trapping in moisture and potentially causing damp or perhaps warping and shrinking?
thanks in advance
