What product is used for chinking and backer/filler between logs I am trying to figure out what to use for my old cabin which has mud chinking backed with small pieces of wood used as filler

THose Amish do it a lot harder than some around me. There is a Amish/Menonite/English lumberyard, with Amish living on site, with the Amish being the predominant employees, but having "English": to run the forklifts and computers in the office. I did see an oddity of an Amish guy running the roofing metal forming machine machine, but in the past week I've also seen an Amish guy using a self-checkout at Lowes(not given much choice as having an open cashier checkout available is very rare.

Hi Mark. Good to see you are still at it.

I liked and subd. Ive been in this trade 40 years. Im 58.

Good morning ☕️

Thanks for posting this. appreciate the details.

How much does it cost? $40k?

amazing what can happen overnight

That's some amazing craftsmanship!

Is it going to be stained or something

Nice diamond willow

Whoville ahh instrument

Nice 👍 love the windows

When rich people want to LARP as country folks

Rip it out and start again

Better divert a Bondo truck

What a loser

I'd be fascinated to see how this could possibly be repaired or replaced without tearing down the entire house

Very very nice

Congrats on the 1K subscribers 👏

Terrible design and too slow to do something about it without it costing a fortune

How would you even go about replacing logs in a home? Remove them one by one like Lincoln logs?

Salam suport bro🎉🎉

where are you located?

If we only knew what way water falls....

As a former contractor, I can tell you the most vulnerable part of any wood member is the end grain. Wood is pretty resistant to water on its face, but the end grain is like a giant sponge, soaking up any water that gets to it! Always seal the end of the wood and it will perform much better.

Let's see how you repair it please! I see this on 90% of the log homes I work on. Owners of log homes just let things go way too far before they address the issues. I can't wrap my head around it.

If you don't know how to build a house, don't do it.

We sealed ours yearly when we lived in a log home. Was a pain but necessary, part of general maintenance.

One simple rule : function before form.

Well done, young man.

My house is brick 30 years still looks the same

The hard was but damn it's satisfying.

Crazy that the builder wouldnt have the foresight to put large overhangs covering any exposed wood. You can get away w/ it in dry arid enviorments but not any areas w/ lots of rainfall and mild winters.

That looks EXPENSIVE!

This is a problem with most types of modern construction/architecture. The overhanging roof is has been eliminated from a lot of modern designs which causes endless problems. A big reason why a lot of older homes last as long as they do is due to the fact that the entire structure of the house was protected by an overhanging roof and not torch on or metal.

i would like to see the sealing and fix part of this job when u get a chance

Where are the gutters ???

What an ugly house

when you look at a problem and ignore it for about 5 years, like it doesn't exist. many of those damaged logs could likely be saved, but rotten til they fall off? nice of the homeowner to just wait til a problem got to the point of no return and then some.

To this owner I bet they where thinking "it's a new house, nothing will go wrong" mean while 20yrs go by and they forget that log cabins need the most maintenance.

Patio slider with no deck 🤔 watch that first step it’s a doozy 🤣

I'll never understand people who just ignore obvious problems until they become so much bigger...

thats a long running problem they ignored...people need to be more proactive about this kind of thing, what a damn shame

god bless you and thanks for keeping a dying tradition alive.... restoring

Seems like a lot of effort for something that looks like it's built from plastic Lincoln logs.
