Log Home Restoration: Quick Tip

Spring is almost here and so are the borring bees. Carpenter Bees can cause alot of damage in a relatively short period of time. Don’t let them get out of control. If you find a hole, new or old, make sure to spray WD-40 in it using the small red applicator tube. Then, I like to plug the hole with a ball of alumnium foil followed by installing a 1/2 wooden dowell. It can be glued but generally it fits plenty tight without it. Once hammered in place, you can tap around the edges of the dowell to flatten it out making it blend really well into the wood.
