Loading ...Anyone have any tips on log home restoration?
I recently bought an older log home. Its hand-hued and needs some log replacement and re-chinking. Any tips or links would be greatly appreciated.

also visit a local bookstore and flip through books on log home repair to gain further understanding.
on another site, there was an answer from a Log Home Restoration Specialist, which stated:
==================================
We are a log home restoration company and we have and do work throughout the US. We have worked in CA, OH, WI, MI, WV, VA, SC, NC, GA, FL, AL, MS, AR, TN, KY, IL, MO, MD, and probably more that I can't remember. This is a unique restoration area and is not entered by many contractors.
We have been in the log home business almost 22 years, completing more than 3,000 log home projects and more than 600 log home restorations. That is why we are called to many locations and why we stay booked up for 3 to 6 months backlog continuously.
