Bought a 20yr old tennessee red cedar log cabin. Needs to be stained and sealed and treated for boreing bees. Logs are in great shape (dark brown) some boards going up to the gable on one end has discolored from the sun. Logs are rounded on the sides and tung and groove top and bottom (no material between them). I have 2800 sq ft of surface area to cover. What do I need to do and what products do you recomend. Thanks!
Sounds like it needs to be media blasted, caulk 100% on the exterior and stained with Life Line. There really is no treatment for Carpenter Bees. They do not respond to borate so it is a never ending job to keep them at bay. Hire an exterminator to spray during the active times.
