Some specifics on stain and caulk

This week we are finishing the interior and exterior log walls on the garage/office space. I wanted to provide some specifics on this process:
After the logs are stacked the crew caulks between each log. The caulk is a "Southland Tan" color caulk mixed to match. Southland ships caulk with each kit. It prevents infiltration of the logs and increases energy effeciency.

After caulking a layer of stain is applied. It seals the caulk and the log. The stain is like sunscreern. It provides a UV barrier which increases the life of the log. The stain we use is "Woodgaurd". On this model we are using the Woodgaurd stain in the "honey-beige" color. We ship enough stain with the kit to apply to the inside and out. This is a huge money saver because Southland is able to provide this with the kit. Click here for more about what's included.
