The Total Log Cabin Restoration team has descended upon Rustburg, VA, nestled in Campbell County, to embark on the restoration project for Lee W's cherished log home. This project requires some carpentry repairs before starting the restoration. Mike, the master carpenter, will remove and replace nineteen feet of log rot.
Day 1: Clearing and Preparation
David, the crew leader, ensures a swift start by initiating the preparation phase. The team efficiently clears the decks and removes all furniture, setting the stage for a smooth restoration process. They also take down the gutter downspouts to prevent staining and to facilitate easy access to the home's corners. All exterior lighting fixtures are carefully covered and taped to protect them from damage and potential electrical issues.
Day 2: Stripping and Sanding
The initial task involves removing the old stain product through media blasting the logs. Once the logs are stripped, the team allows sufficient time for drying. The next step involves meticulously sanding down the logs to achieve a smooth, uniform surface, preparing them for the new stain application. To protect against wood-eating insects, a Borate treatment is meticulously applied to the logs and trim.
Day 3: Inspection and Caulking
With the log home adequately dried, the crew conducts a thorough inspection of all caulking, including window and door frames. They apply fresh caulking wherever necessary to ensure a tight seal and optimal protection.
Day 4: Staining
Finally, the cabin is ready for the new stain application. The team uses TWP Butternut Brown to enhance the exterior of the cabin. The first coat is applied on day three, followed by the second coat on day four.
This is what Lee W had to say about his experience with Total Log Cabin Restoration: My experience was very positive. Everyone involved have been very helpful, knowledgable, and courteous. Thanks for a great job.
