    Based on the lack of a follow up video, you have to wonder if any of this worked.
    I'd love to think it did.
    Perhaps jacking up a rotting cross member underneath a building and adding a footing was too much to handle.

    Nooooo, you have to replace the logs!

    I was hoping to see a follow up video to find out how the salvage job turned out...

    What was the purpose of the " coolant " you mixed with fungicide?aka antifreeze? Just curious.

      coolant doesn't dry for a long long time
      this allows it to soak longer
      thusly deeper
      bringing the boric acid deeper before it crystalizes
      coolant is also a bit of a fungicide on its own
      this is why it was still wet days later
      it would take weeks to dry
      and during that time he'd want to keep rain off the log.
      which would be difficult
      documentation of all this is poor. likely why he added it in based on "I heard it helps". It's unlikely part of the Timbor instructions. Use of coolant for wood preservation is anecdotal in my opinion. I haven't found any hard studies proving it works, however, I use it myself with a mix of borate, borax and propylene/sometimes ethylene.

    Just wondering, why would you restore a rotten log? Why not to just simply change it.

      i guess is not easy to change bottom ones

      "simply" does NOT belong in that sentence.
      there's a long of weight on both those logs. the cross member and the bottom log.

    Is this going to handle weight of the entire building ...? I am afraid no. Why this alchemy is not done when logs are builded, but when it is too late ...? But thanks anyway ;)

      the building was old
      and cabins are built cheaply
      there is little concern for the maint requirements at the times of construction.

    An experiment gone bad from the start. Leave these types of structural repairs to the professionals. (40 yrs experience here!)

    It does not come across as a good idea to fill in the ridges and spaces with artificial materials. Changing the log would be better I think
