The circle completes itself.

So the crew that is working to replace my deck has saved several of the Trex decking boards for another person who is interested in repurposing it for his new deck.  Normally I would balk at this and try to talk the guy out of it.  However, since I am not in contact with this gentleman I view this as another way to cheaply get the word out about this poor product.

This poor, unfortunate soul is going to take this free decking and lay it down thinking that he is getting something for nothing; and truly he is.  He's getting a maintenance nightmare for free.  The mold spots are already forming on the deck boards that are in my driveway.  After these boards are installed the mold will continue to increase its presence.  The deck owner will take a couple immediate steps to clean the deck (perhaps a cheap bleach-based cleaning solution) and think that his problem has been solved.  In this case, after about 6-8 weeks his problems are just beginning.

The new deck owner will research, clean, re-clean, and eventually get fed up with the product.  Hopefully telling many people along the way about the troubles he is having with his free Trex decking.

And then the circle will have been completed!  Best of luck new deck owner.  May your word spread faster than the mold on your new deck.
