  • Do you have trouble with mice or other critters getting in. If so what can you do about them.

  • @curlybobz our top 5 biggest pests, beginning with the most irritating first and working our way down would be... People, raccoons, mice, bats and skunks, cant kill trespassers but the thought has occurred to me. close the door to keep raccoons out, dryer sheets on anything level the mice can walk on (they cant stand the smell and either can i) close the door for the bats too, and so-forth with the skunks... Don't lock the door or trespassers will chainsaw your cabin to trespass

  • Bugs love bark!

  • @BeantownJim actually... bugs cant stand cedar bark AND its all sealed in with chinking but thanks for commenting

  • This is gonna sound silly i guess but I've heard that also using tobacco leaves along with the cedar bark. Reason being is that insects will not eat through tobacco leaves. This is what I've heard..

    Also.. I sprayed my entire log cabin with Thompsons water seal to help protect the wood.. was that a good idea??

  • @tscotty32 wow, i did not get notified from youtube that you responded... sorry for the delay. anything to protect your logs is a good idea, the most importent thing is to have a good roof. i would like to see your cabin.

see all

  • if you don't live in the northwest i don't know what you're going to do... this is what you do in the northwest. lol:)

  • @dirtTdude I'll find out haha

  • @dirtTdude I wonder how far is your water source?Stream, river, ?

  • steel wool works great for filler also.

  • I'm going to do this. You did a pretty good job. As good of a job as i would hope to do on my log cabin. IT seems pretty basic to me. I worked and as a arborist for a while also. So i know the characteristics of different wood and hard and softwoods. I have also worked on houses since I was 13 with my dad.
