RICHMOND, Ill. — You drive and drive. Past pumpkin farms and silos. And then, at last, when the country road bumps into, yes, a street plainly called Main — where an old-fashioned barber pole still twirls and the steeple of an old white country church is the tallest point around — you turn, hard left as you can. Keep coming south across the bridge to downtown, then look for the black-and-white striped awning on Broadway that will tell you you’ve arrived.
Q: We have a house at the shore, with a second-story deck supported by pressure-treated wood. It was built after they banned the old arsenic pressure-treated wood. We had the wood capped with aluminum.
