And then there’s the bug problem. It used to be that log cabins were magnets for insects, but treatments have come a long way. These days, natural solutions like borate can keep termites and other pests away without needing to douse your home in chemicals. You don’t have to live in fear of what might be crawling inside the walls.
People also assume that any stain will do, but that’s not true either. Every brand is a little different, and so is every log home. The right stain depends on your climate, the age of the wood, and even the type of trees used to build your home. Picking the wrong one might mean more work later, so it’s worth doing some research or talking to someone who’s dealt with it before.
