Hello, I just bought a log home and I am closing on it in a couple days. I am reading this and so worried about maintenance (after the fact of course). The outside is very faded and I know I have to get that done, but I want to wipe down the inside. How do I know if the interior walls were treated? I planned on using murphys and water, and a wet rag, as the house has sat empty for awhile.

You should be able to tell if there is any kind of finish on the logs. If they seam dry and soak water in they do not have a finish on them. Interior finishes will last forever since they are not subject to weather to break them down. Murphy’s and water is the proper way to clean.
