WORK-IN-PROGRESS: LOG CABIN RESTORATION
Exterior visible water damage promted Chris to cut away the outer half of this log which shows major water damage in the log's core.
You can see how carpenter ants ( which are attracted to high moisture content in wood) have the ability to destroy logs in your log home, often in a short period of time, and in this case, causing major structural damage.
Prevention of water intrusion by using a high quality log home finish (Lifeline Ultra-2 & Lifeline Advance) and sealants (Perma-Chink and/or Check Mate) would have helped eliminate this costly problem.
