Looks nice! We have to re-side our house and I'm looking into Log Siding. I like what I see. A couple of questions, how is it weathering? What kind of maint. are you doing for it?

Thanks in advance! By the way, went to Tahoe in 1978, loved it!! Didn't spend enough time there, but it was beautiful!!

Peace!

Got my siding from the Woodworkers Shoppe in Montana. I would post a link but YouTube won't let me (!). It's weathering fine so far (3 years). I used Sikkens 77 for stain. 30 years is a long time, you should get back to Tahoe if you can.

ALL I Have to say is WOW!! What a WOMAN!! That's encouraging to know that I could even help my hubby with the work. What a WONDERFUL JOB!! Did you do the inside as well?

Thank you! I'll tell her you said that. Yes, I did do the inside as well, with tongue and groove pine. It looks great. Check out pics of the interior at laketahoechalet com.

Love your cabin and the work you have done. We also have a place off Pioneer trail, a 1970s chalet, would love to do a remodel like yours someday!
