Tearing Down A (Waferboard-Dont Use IT!) Shed

We bought a house last year which came with an owner built shed. Unfortunately it was built with waferboard for flooring and sheathing, at 3 years old it was pretty rotted out and needed to be taken down. The original owner must have been a serious alcoholic because everthing was nailed on crooked. That is,when the nails actually hit what he was aiming for. He used an air nailer and missed most of the time.and he seemed to use only one size nail for everything.

It kind of makes a person think why a person would really use this stuff for such applications..If a person can afford it, they should likely put down plywood..This stuff is ok, if it doesn't get moisture..I don't know about Advantech though..

@MrShannon888 We have advantech floors in our house. It's better than regular waferboard, but it still gets mushy in places where there is high moisture, such as adjacent to outside doors.

a lot easeir to take apart if you use a crowbar at the nail points instead of the middle of the board. just an ameture way of doing things

You cant save wafer board. Once it starts to go ,thats the end. It really does suck!

It could have been rebuilt "we have the technology" was funny to watch.
