In many previous posts I discuss the use of a borate based product during the process of replacing chinking, repairing logs and have identified several other uses where borates should be used as well as methods of application.
A borate based product works well as a wood preservative — it kills mold, mildew as well insects and is very useful to have around any home – not just log homes.
I have received numerous emails and questions as to where to find ‘boric acid’ or borate-based products. Read more Borate Preservative
I had been away for the last month on vacation. Good to be back but lots to do.
Over the past several weeks I had the opportunity to visit Georgia, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York State, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts and took up on the invitations to tour number of log homes and other restoration projects of the Bearfort Lodge readers. Thank you to all for the invites and hospitality.
It was so exciting and I’m looking forward to sharing the experience with you. So – here I am and I’ve got a tremendous amount of updating to do as well as answer numerous emails from readers with questions. I see about 50 or 60 emails in my in-box to which I need to attend.
My apologies to Eunice – What a fantastic and beautiful email – I am responding to your questions on your log home in Ontario. With your permission I would love to post your email here on the site.
