Log Home Restoration: Winterizing Tip..

After the pollen has fallen, be sure to wash your log home. Then do a walk around inspection looking for areas of failing caulk joints. Winter drafts, even from the smallest crack, can really cause the heat bill to rise.  Take the time to remove any failing caulk, clean the joint and re-apply a quailty caulk. After the caulk is applied, it needs to be “tooled” to ensure good adhesion. Also, don’t use the “big box ” store caulking.  Use caulking especially formalated to accommodate log movement.
