A Bit of a Challenge

This 6000 square foot log home was a challenge. Why? Because there was absolutly no shade, we were applying a latex semi-transparent stain, it was four coats and in the middle of July.

The heat was not so much of the problem as the sun beating down on the logs. A latex stain will dry way too fast if applied in direct sunlight anytime. Add 95 degrees temperature and up and you better find some shade.

So, we worked around the house…. as the sun moved….so did we, staying on the shady side. It was still hot, but the logs were cool enough to accept the stain and have time to absorb into the wood. 

All in all….it went pretty well…..a little slow, but it was done right, the customer was happy….and if the customer is happy……..
