Ref. I Problems wi th Log Hane
(North wall first floor)
we have determined after our visual inspection, numerous problems
with specifically the North wall of the Log structure.
1. The entire exterior of the log portion was improperly finished.
. ,
A Latex base paint was used to apparently camouflage or hide the
,
improfections for the purpose of visual esthetics.
2. By using the latex paint externally, this caused the trapping
I .
of any sap ancfelement moisture in the logs.
3. The deteration clearly shows evidence of bug festation and
'. .of
moisture rot which has been occuring for several years. All of the
aforementioned was obviously covered up with the latex paint, which
has a silicone base and has peeled at this point in time exposing
..
the excellerated wood rot and is currently showing evidence of an
extreme amount of moisture trying to escape fran the logs.
4. In conjuction with the log surface showing excellerated decay,

1. Ramdom test entire structure for bug intestation, past and present,
, .
moisture content, .both sap and element, density ot logs tor structural
soundness. ....NQTE.... No estimate tor ~ tor the three remartiQg
vall is given at this time. After the test, any repairs will be
estimated at that time.
2. The entire North vall should be removed and replace along with the
deterated corners, however, due tp the current occupancy ot the hane,
the fact that the occupants would have to locate and obtain temporary
housing, and to miniumize costs, we propose to remove approximately
4 inches in depth/the. log surtace hoping to reach good sound wood
as to not disturb the interior portion of the log wall with all of the
electric and kitchen cabilletrY..1nptalled on that decayed vall. We are
confident that this sho~ld remove all the decayed area and by adding
a solid log veneer, will keep the structure in tact structurally as
if the hane..vas just bullt.
3. After removal ot decayed area, treat sound wood for protection
ot bug and moisture exposure.
4. Install vapior barrior over entire vall.
5. Install a 6" x 8" log veneer for replacement of removed area and
structural soundness.
6. Correctly seal and preserve the exterior of the new veneered vall.
7. Remove the window, exterior trims, and interior trims.
.... The visual evidence shows decay in this window the same as
outlined with the log vall.....
8. Replace window with new, equiVlllant to existing and new exterior
trims. Rs-use interior trims it ~at all possible.
9. Seal and preserve all exterior surtaces of window and trims.
