Is Your Reclaimed Barn Wood Toxic? Step-by-Step Arsenic Test Guide

In this video, we go on-site to test reclaimed wood from an old barn for arsenic before deciding if it’s safe for adaptive reuse in a new project. We’re joined by a chemist to walk through a step-by-step arsenic test, discussing the chemical reactions involved and what the results mean for indoor air quality. Whether you're a DIYer salvaging wood for a feature wall or a professional focused on healthy home building, this video highlights the importance of testing before you build. 📐 Design + Build w/ SawHorse 🧱 https://sawhorse.net 👩‍👩‍👦‍👦 JOIN THE COMMUNITY- SAWHORSE [DESIGN + BUILD] 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 📨Signup is FREE: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/s... 🔗 Connect w/ SawHorse Design Build    / sawhorseatlanta     / sawhorse_design_build     / sawhorsedesignbuild     / sawhorse-inc     / matthoots   👉 Learn more on the blog: https://sawhorse.net/blog/ 🔨 About SawHorse Design Build 🪚 Matt Hoots   / matthoots   is a green builder and owner of SawHorse Design Build, a full-service design + build firm based in Atlanta, Georgia.
