Log Home Restoration: Rain, Sleet or Snow

Today it will be in the upper 80s and sunny. In the picture in Staunton, VA. it was Febuary, 33 degrees and had just stopped snowing…….12 inches.  The sun came out and melted some of the snow and then it froze that night. The next day we had to use hammers to beat holes in the ice covered snow so we could get the legs of the ladders down through the snow to solid ground.  Got the house stripped, then had to wait for a few days for the weather to break and warm up. Three days later it was in the mid 50s and we started staining. This time everything work out. Ole Man Winter had mercy on us.
