• Basics of Log Home Maintenance
•  
• The management of log homes is distinct from
  normal homes. This is not to suggest that it's
  more complicated, but it's certainly not
  smoother. For log homes or log cabins, there are
  just more issues than the standard concrete walls
  and hardwood floors in residences. Do you want to

• Dark Patches
• Among the most popular problems with logs are dim
  patches. This is because of molds that have grown
  due to the splatter of moisture. This is quickly
  washed up with bleach solution combined with
  water. Using an old toothbrush, wipe off the
  molds.

• Cracks Over
• In log houses, cracks are unavoidable, which is
  why it is necessary to go around the whole log
  house once in a while. Owing to humidity and the
  shifting seasons, cracks happen. Do not think
  about this because, without any effects on its
  credibility, it is a natural occurrence to happen
  to logs. Sealants are available in numerous
  flavors that can help seal the cracks. Only make
  sure that you query the professionals about the
  necessary sealant for the log you have. There are
  also options for wider cracks that need to fill
  up the void. The finishing touch can be achieved
  by a sealant. You can learn more at Canadian log

• Staining With
• This is not a part of upkeep, but in constructing
  a log house, it is a significant factor. Stains
  preserve the log cabin from disintegration.
  However, the maintenance part is where the stain
  is no longer active. It's almost like paint
  that's faded now, it's not the colour you had in
  the first place anymore. It can no longer be much
  of a precaution for stains if the stain has
  already thinned out. But don't worry, because
  this doesn't happen over time. Stains require a
  few years to lose their defensive touch. Sprinkle
  water on the log to see if the stain is still
  running, because if the water beads up and flows
  down the log, then it is still doing a protective
  job. If you need to reapply the stain, first
  clean the whole log home with water and let it
  dry for a couple of days before adding the stain.

• Regularly search gutters
• To prevent water from pouring all over the paint
  of the exterior, gutters are necessary in every
  building. It is much more necessary for a log
  house to hold the log away from water since it
  might ruin the building. If the log is submerged
  in water, the log would become weak. This is the
  same for log cabins, while too much water
  exposure can contribute to eventual weakness when
  they are not submerged in water. That is why, in
  log homes, gutters are really important, more
  important than in normal homes. Gutters prohibit
  the darkening of logs as well. Making sure the
  water is drained away from the log home by
  running off. Keep the gutters tidy, too. You may

• In fact, if this is only a
  holiday house rather than your everyday home, it
  is not easy to take care of a log cabin. This
  suggests that even though you are not yet on
  holiday, you have to visit the cabin. The expense
  one has to pay for making such a nice-looking
  house is the upkeep of the log home.
