Hello Richard, I just saw your post and am quite surprised that no one jumped in to answer it. First, let me say that most people just starting into log homes figure square footage the same as they would on a stick built home. By doing it this way, they could be of a 1000 sq. ft. or more...

Dan & Jon, Hey guys, I don't make the laws. In Oregon if you contract to clean windows, you are a contractor and must be licensed by the state (again, I didn't make this law). Allot of these laws and requirements are attached (riders) to other laws that are being passed that have nothing...

Dan, Calif. is kind of wierd. They have allot of different classifications. Some of the wording in their laws are kind of vauge and they can be taken in several different ways. In Calif. you can do some things without a licence but not everything that we do. For me to go into Calif...

Well, you guys can say and think what you want but the truth of the matter is that there is licensing in your future. The states that we operate in the most frequent, OR. Wash. Nv. and Calif. all require a contractor to be licensed with the state. Each state varies a little in their...

Hi Bridget, I thought Michigan was "The Land of The Lakes" country. Oregon is "God's Country" What part of Mich. are you from? There's going to be a log home show at the Astro Dome, or is it the Silver Dome in Pontiac Mich. next year. I'll be there about a week, stop by and say "hello"...

Hello Jon, In answer to your question about using the corn blaster on this lodge. There are 21 buildings, 4 to 6 condo's in each of the building. These condo's are used year round. There is no way that they can shut down a section to allow corn blasting or sand blasting. It is a safty...

Hi Guys, Just reading some of the pricing and was just wondering if any of you have priced out ceder fencing or are you just guessing at the replacement costs. Out here a 6 foot ceder privacy fence will run between 20 and 30 dollars per foot installed depending on design. A 6 foot shadow...

Good Morning Gentlemen, Myself, I have to agree with Johnny on this. The main purpose of using sodium hydroxide is to loosen this crud up to be able to remove it without doing damage to the wood. If this deck has never had any finish applied to it then the UV damage has already been done so...

Hello gentlemen It's been awhile sence I've been on board, just wanted to jump in on this one. Perma-Chink and Sascho are both pushing this con cob blasting to the hilt. Why, because they their strippers arn't worth a hill of beans and they have to have some way to remove their finish. If...

You guys and gals who run onto this product ( liquid Rawhide or Natural Plus ) let your client know that there is a national class action lawuit in the works. I have just been asked this morning to work with the attorneys again on this suit. In order to join this action, the home owner...

Hi Mike, We started this job on July 9th and just finished it today Aug. 30th. We lost a week on it because the mother of one of my men was killed in a car accident. I only had two men working on this and they did a terrific job. About the only time I was there was to make sure everything...

Before picture Well h---, the after picture showed up but the before picture didn't. Here it is on this post.

I don't know if this is going to show the pictures or not but I'm going to try anyway. This is the job that Johnny was talking about awhile back, removing two coats of paint and one coat of solid base stain. The first picture was his first attempt. The second picture is the results after I went...

Ronniels, Because of the health hazzards caused by asbestos and the number of law suits filed against the manufactures, the use of asbestos was banned in the early 1970's. These lawsuits are still going on today. I myself have 32 suits pending. You said that the house was painted last...

Ronniels, You must be a young man not to know what "asbestos" is. I can tell you from experence that asbestos can KILL you if you get it in your lungs. The effects of asbestos is unnoticeable for many years. It causes cancer and a few other good little things. Go on the internet and...
