Just wanted to let you know, I got the door installed - no problem except that now I have discovered that I should have installed a weather proof door because my door faces the north and the cold north wind just blows right through so, I will be removing the one I installed and replacing it with...

Well, I am finally applying finish to the walls and ceilings in my log home and need help from someone on whether I can apply spar urethane over a water-based stain/sealer. I have used spar urethane on my bathroom vanity and utility cabinets but would also like to apply it to my bathroom walls...

Hi everyone, just wanted to update my status on finishing the interior of my log home. I have posted pictures in the gallery and hope to post more in a couple of days. Basically, all of the walls and ceilings are complete. Still have to manufacture the trim pieces for ceiling cove, outside...

Dust your lawn with sulphur - keep your grass cut low - if you have bermuda grass, try to replace it with bug free St. Augustine. Also, make Avon's Skin-so-soft body oil part of your routine during the summer months. My husband attracts the little devils as though he is oozing honey but if he...

Our cabinets were installed yesterday. The contractor will return today to install the doors for the upper cabinet by the window. They were damaged during delivery. They also will add a finish panel to the end of the upper cabinets. And yes, they were designed and built for a log home which is...

I had planned the same thing for my log home (Texas), but have decided on full tile downstairs. However, I did a lot of research before changing my mind. There are 2 products that must be used before the floor goes down. One is a moisture barrier that has to be applied with a "specific" size...

Our log cabin has a cement slab :( (necessary due to budget restraints - not our original choice) but now we have to make a decision on the type of flooring to install in the "great room", hall, and bedroom. I originally intended to use Brazilian Teak hardwood but the installation may...

You can rent a "corn-media blaster" (they use corn cobs instead of sand to keep from damaging the logs) to remove your old finish and then apply new sealer, stain and top coat. Our log home was just sealed, stained, and clear coated last week. The current recommended product is made by...

Thanks Glenn. My son will be helping as often as possible. Our cabin is on his 100 acres but he works a real JOB about 60+ hours a week and then has his own place to be tended. He plans to take some vacation when we start the ceilings (hardest part in the vaulted area) and will help if I...

I would like to install a doggy door in my back door. It is a new fiberglass door and I do not want to mess it up. Is there anyone here that has installed one on this type door before? The top of the door is glass with 2 solid panels on the bottom. The doggy door is for small dogs.;)

Hello everyone. I just joined because I think I may need a lot of help and advice. My log home has been completed to the shell stage and from here on, it is my job to complete the interior. This will not be a speedy project as I am a retired great grandmother with a disabled husband so my time...
