Fall is a wonderful a chance to perform a final assessment in the exterior of your home before you decide to get ready and savor the warm, dry and comfortable winter inside your home. The objective at this point is to clean, not burning the logs so be sure you apply a maximum of 500 psi and 15-20° power washer tip. After cleaning the log and made them dry, check the below mentioned areas. In this case, you will need a ladder, a hammer and an awl or other pointed tool.
NOTCHES AND CORNERS. Inspect the corners for any indications of capping, moisture damage and rot. Several roofing types really don't effectively protect corners from the weather and any open, uncovered horizontal wood surface can be the major nominee for rot problems.
WALLS. Curbs and fractures in logs are natural so don't be surprised. They in most cases don't cause any problems but once you see any up-facing curbs that could let water to sink into the log then seal them off with a caulking wax that suits the shade of your log. Varnishing is the effective way of protecting it to the climate change.
