After applying log caulking in between the joints of the logs. We also caulked the face of the crowns and any checks on the logs larger than a 1/4" located on the upper half of the log. These checks can hold water and cause your logs to rot. We used log builder caulking with 1/4" backer rod applied between the log joints before caulking. This helps to maintain a proper seal and ensure that the caulking will only adhere to 2 points on the log. This log home restoration project was a 1920's era log cabin. It is always a great pleasure to see the transformation from beginning to end. We take great pride in every log home restoration project we perform. We also offer log replacement services, log home maintenance, new log home finishing, log chinking, log caulking, and log home consulting services.
