I came across this video of a couple of guys chinking a log home using traditional mortar chinking.

Here we are nearing the end of August. Autumn is approaching quickly and winter is not far behind sothis is the time in which log cabin owners should begin the late season inspection of logs and chinking.

Let’s focus on the chinking for now.

Late summer is a great time to do a final inspection of your chinking before the cold weather sets in. Why you may ask? If you need to make any repairs or touch-ups on chinking and use synthetic chinking materials keep in mind that these products are to be used in temperatures greater then 40 degrees. Therefore inspecting your chinking now provides you with the adequate time to make your repairs before the cold weather sets in.
