Well finally! We started chinking! Randy and Nathan (teach him to stop by for an announced visit...LOL...J/k) worked on cutting out framing and installing the frame on the last kitchen window, then the next weekend I started chinking. Wyatt and Blake helped of course, but it takes a lot of patience and a steady hand. Can't waste it, cost way to much to waste. You have to look really close to see the backer rod put in between the logs, then you add the chinking. After that you sponge it to make sure it adheres to the logs. I sprayed the foam insulation that grows to fill spaces in the large spots in the corners, then had to cover it with tape so that the chink wouldn't stick to it and peel from the logs. The picture where its just a close up of the logs. That's the finished chinking. In the pictures roof looks silver but its actually beige, the same colors as the windows. Tarp is up because we still not finish painting windows and staining logs. Hope to have that down by Tuesday evening.
