cleaning before roof
We are finalizing a framer to get out roof built. Hopefully starting in a week.
So last couple weeks we've been pressure washing before it's too cold. Outside is all done and inside is about 1/2.
Stain samples
Jessica & I needed to figure out what stain to use to protect the logs. We ordered samples from 3 different companies (listed below). Here's our logs (red pine), cleaned but no stain as a reference: Heres the stain list that corresponds to the sample #'s on the logs: Sikkens Natural Oak Sikkens Natural Sikkens Natural Light Sikkens Butternut Sikkens Cedar Sikkens Teak Woodguard Honey 2000 NF Woodguard Honey Base NF Woodguard Warm Pecan NF Woodguard Tawny Cypress NF Woodguard Dark Walnut NF High Sierra Applewood High Sierra Tan Pine High Sierra Bronze Sycamore We narrowed it down to 12 + 14, so we coated 1/2 a log in each of the remaining samples, and the applewood color (12) really looks to be the best for us.
