We are having our log home repaired by a company, they have corn cob blasted, and they are going to reseal and restain, etc. They are also ”refacing” some rotten logs, some of these logs are rotten all the way into the interior, should these logs be completely replaced or is it ok just to reface them with log siding? Also, that wall has bowed in, what can be done to fix that?
Thank you

Sounds like you have more problems then what re-facing can fix. If you have a structual problem with a wall bowing out the log facing won’t be the answer. The wall needs analizing to determine the problem. Sounds like you need to re-think the restoration.
Also any log which is rotted more then 1/2 way should be full replacement.
