Stain, stain & more stain.

We had Don come out to stain the inside logs, we used the same stain as the outside, & will be putting on a clearcoat in a week or so. Finished 2 coats of stain by the end of the day.

Today we stained the front board & batten before it gets too cold out.

Second floor 4x10's done and a few windows

 We finished getting all the 4x10's up on the girders, leveled, and secured. Also installed another 3 windows, the two fixed pane in the living room are in, and the slider in the kitchen as well. The next ones and the patio door I'll need Jessica's help with, too heavy to do alone. Cleaned up a little as it was getting messy .  Not too far from starting interior wall framing!!

Interior clear done

Busy weekend; the interior finish is complete!! We decided to do a clear satin finish. Each log is so unique we felt this would bring out its natural beauty. Lots of work to get them ready for this weekend. - Powerwash 3x - grinded all logs with flap disk - palm sanded inside (60 grit) - scrubbed with cleaning solution - applied a brightner - coated logs in borate (keeps the bugs out!) - applied Pre-Stain #sashcocolorfast - sanded between each coat of clear. We couldn’t be happier! The logs have a soft, smooth texture with a luxurious sheen. Exterior stain this weekend!
