As a log home builder I can tell you for fact that No finish will last 10 years and anyone who tells you otherwise is attempting to sell you a dream. Do not wait 10 years to retreat your home, please! As you will find it is much much more expensive to fix it than to treat it. With proper preparation, annual cleaning with a high quality log home cleaner and a good quality latex stain your color should last approx 10 years depending on sunlight,etc howver you will still need to reapply a quality clear coat every 2-5 years.

[...] My wife may not acknowledge that fall is around the corner, but those of us that need to prepare for winter are acutely aware that these warm sunny days are numbered. To make matters worse, only one project I had planned for this summer got finished. That was the job of replacing the log steps in the front of the house.

Comment on A Vertical Log Cabin… What say you? by Benjamin Hughes

Hi Tom,
I have been living in a vertical log cabin for 12 yrs now and the structure was erected in 1938! I am located near Timmins Ontario and the climate is very similar to the interior of Alaska. Temperatures of minus 35-40 degrees celsius along with snow levels of 3-4 feet are quite normal here. I must add that the building is pretty rustic in its construction and that there has never been any structural problems to date. Up until 4 yrs ago (at which time i crawled underneath and installed sona tubes) the cabin sat on crude concrete pads so it was floating around quite dramatically in the winter. My point being that even tho it floated the building never lost any of it’s integrity so in my opinion it is indeed a very sound choice and a lot easier to construct for the do-it yourself type.
All the best to you!
Ben
