An article about rot by our President, Rod Rodriguez....

The main component of any wood is cellulose, which serves as the primary source of nutrition for both insects and decay fungi. The biggest enemy to wood is moisture.

Check it out! "6 Easy Steps to Maintaining Your Cabin" by Beth Borrego, appearing May 2009 in Country's Best Log Homes Cozy Cabin Issue!

Hooray! This past February when I was thinking warm thought I was asked to write an article for the Cozy Cabin issue on maintenance. I just got my copy today, and am excited. My hat's off to the editors, who of course put out wonderful magazines. Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of this issue!

Avoid the "P" word... (paint)

As log home enthusiasts who live vicariously through caring for other people's log homes, we would be remiss if we did not caution those of you building or buying an existing log home about the "p" word. Paint and logs are not a good combination. When moisture becomes trapped in the wood, your logs are more susceptible to rot. We have worked on painted homes before, where owners who purchased a log home that was previously painted, had no idea their logs were infested with rot. Wood needs to… Continue

Thank you for directing him to those pics. That is a darker color than I would like, but that's just a matter of opinion, everyone has different tastes. Just wanted to say good job, it looked great.

Are you guys doing any Home Shows this Fall?

At 9:13am on May 18, 2009, Shad said…: Heh - thanks for the comment on the picture. That was from last Halloween. It was a total throw-together-at-the-last-minute costume that consisted of a black shirt with wide masking tape giving me stripes, the glasses and bat antenna. So I was a bee. Then a made a sign that said "Boo!" and draped it over my neck, making myself a boo-bee. Made me laugh at least :)

At 9:06pm on February 21, 2009, Thomas A. Gaskell said…: Yes I did receive your package and we will share your information with our customers and any other log home owners that contact us. I have a question for you. We are seriously considering taking the stain off of the outside of our log home and restaining it a lighter color. What is the best way to do this and what would the cost be?

At 9:52pm on January 10, 2009, Johnny Lost Loghome said…: Thanks, We are having a bad run, hope we will hear from some of the people we contacted in reference to AmerLink In the Woods logHomes. If anyone out there are even thinking about
using them please just throw your money out the window of a moving car. You will never get
it back nor will you ever get your home.
