Restoring Log Homes: Before and After

Over the summer, the log house needed attention.

The weather and UV light change the color of the wood's surface to shades of gray.
The cost of cornblasting the surface is very expensive, so with some simple tools

and time, the prep work was done
and the new golden colored stain was put on.

The stain is called Wood Guard and will protect the wood for many years.
A job well done. And that's is where I have been since August, ( and fishing)










Autumn Pride


When the first buds of the white clematis appeared,

I wasn't sure there would be flowers this fall.

The show has gone on and on, just as I had planned,
topping the roottree by the entrance, Perfect!!
