Checks are killing us
We own a log home that we built around 2014. We’ve had nothing but maintenance issues! We are in the Catskill region of NY. The front of the log home bakes in the sun and gets slammed during harsh winters. We had checks in logs, did our research and used backer rod with log caulk to no avail. Logs started failing. The caulk doesn’t withstand the elements.
The home is large and we do maintenance every summer on the entire home so it’s not a matter of not paying attention.
Has anyone found something to seal the checks that doesn’t shrink? We love the log end sealer and are almost tempted to backer rod, and log end sealer injection. Frustrated is an understatement.
Help?!
