we just bought a log home and the logs are turning almost white on the outside and splitting on the inside. what kind of maintence do we need to do in order to preserve our logs? we live in wyoming and the wind blows badly here.

I’m not sure why the white on the outside, unless the stain is failing or fading. The splitting on the inside could be caused from low humidity since it is winter.Do not worry too much about the checking (splitting); it will not harm the house.You can fill them on the interior if you wish, but do not fill them on the exterior unless they are letting wind, water or bugs to the interior.
