Hi Tony,Received your message. Thank you for your response. I am in the start stage of building a cabin from the remains of two old tobbaco barns. Took down two barns and will be lucky to get enough good logs to finish my cabin. They look good when theyre standing , But sure get ugly when you get them down. always Look forward to info from your web site. Thanks again, George Epp
I am preparing a virgin chinking but wasn’t able to find a chink recipe except with ash which creates a consistency issue so thought I was stuck with synthetic. Two days before I was going to purchase 1500$ of chink, I found you! I’ve been looking for you for so long! I wonder about galvanized screws for application ease and time since I have to do the whole thing, in and out. Is there a reason not to? I cant think of one but you may have a reason. Your lodge is stunning and rich-true artistry from the logs to the masonry. I am so pleased to be able to make it. It changes my perspective completely and now I am excited to do it instead of resigned, all because I can make true chinking, not be stuck with another ’superior to the original’ (not), anonymous product. For this alone, accept my thanks. I am sanding off the inner bark and redoing my whole home inside, cleaning, chinking and staining outside. I like the finish-what is it inside? What about outside and how has it held up to snow, sun?
Thanks again, Louise Russell Northport, Wa
