Maintaining log cabins inside and out.
-
Peg on Jun 26, 2013Hi Michelle, My spouse and I, (now my EX) built our own Log Home and added 2 additions to it over the 25 yrs we were married. When we stained the wood, we added something in it to repel the carpenter ants. We also had to power wash the old stain off every 6 or so years, it got crappy looking. So much residue seems to stick to the logs. The seeping sap is common too.Helpful Reply

Michelle S on Oct 04, 2013Thanks, we've power washed before and it helped, but between the carpenter bees and carpenter ants, I feel we're losing the battleHelpful Reply
