The guy I talked with at Godfrey & Wing seemed pretty sharp. He said that they would do 2 consecutive treatments. Evidently the process will accept some layer building. I'm going to attempt to limp through the summer and plan on doing the tear-down this winter. If things get worse I'll be forced into acting sooner. If the plan prevails then I'll have more time to research the process further. I'll look into the possibility of longevity issues also.
