Try calling a local log home builder or distributor for someone.

I do not know of any one. Try calling Ryan at 877-788-5647. He may travel there.

Yes.

Be sure to apply a good borate solution like Shell Guard before staining to all wood surfaces.

Unfortunately it is done all of the time. Check local building codes for vapor barriers and the like. DO NOT cover any rotten logs as they will continue to rot and cause structural issues over time.

Are they rotten or just dark. You should squirt some borate concentrate into the checks. DO NOT fill.

Start with a rougher grit then go to smoother grit.

Call Dave at 800-564-2987 for help and the materials that you will need.

Include a side grinder in your arsenal with 36 grit disc.

Yes
