I was delighted to find your site via a patient. We don’t have a log home but we do have a home constructed from an eclectic collection of salvaged 1870 heart pine doors; porch post salvaged from the Lottie Moon home where they foolishy torn off a back balcony rather than resotoring it; and flooring, v groove paneling milled and stored in a dry area for over 60 years. We used a commercial version of your “home brew” borax treatment that was very effective but costly. We have another large stack of wood that we want to use upstairs on the walls that would have cost a great deal to treat. Thanks to you I can start treating this summer. Almost finished with the house? Are you ever finished? No.

I don’t pretend this is hard to get. You can certainly use 20 Mule Team Borax — go for it. I have used it before myself.

Why are you pretending this stuff is hard to get? You can just buy a box or a bag of borax at any decent hardware store or garden center.

Holy cow! SEVENTY bucks for a bucket of borax solution? who in the world buys this stuff?
