Stain!!
After a fun week or two of spraying, scrubbing, cleaning, & rinsing the logs, we were finally ready to get them stained.
We ordered a stain called High Sierra (color applewood) made by Sashco. Product went on very well, so we'll see how long it lasts against the weather.
We hired a friend of a friend to come out & do the staining, Don did a good job & very quick too.
Here's a before of the front:

We used the same stain to protect the overhangs & all the fascia. Hopefully this will discourage the carpenter bees a bit too.
