More misc. pics as we go through the process.

In these pictures one coat of stain has been applied to the logs. We are in the process of applying the chinking to match the old chinking with a common recipe of 1 part Portland Cement, 3 parts Sand, 1/2 part Masonry Lime. These pictures show the chinking being applied and before drying. Next...

A couple of before and after pics, sorry about the sun and shadows.

This was the finished result of this deck.

When ordering logs they come in one inch variables like 4"-5" or 5"-6". They were split and debarked for us as ordered. Logs come barked and debarked and of course you pay more to have them debarked. Usually they come in a little rough and also need to be cleaned. some people still use TSP to...

We then begin installing logs

Next you pull off the old logs and chinking. If you are going to do this you need to factor in log and chinking removal. Will you be taking it away or getting a dumpster? Factor this into the price.

I thought I would start a thread showing the progress of a job we are doing that involves log replacement and chinking on an older log cabin in a historic small town with a lot of cabins in Medford Lakes, NJ. I will post what we are doing and feel free to ask questions. Obviously the first...

$1 per linear ft. per floor as a base. Example, a building 120 x 50 would be 120+120+50+50=340, 340x3=1020/building. Then like Guy said need to see the building to take into account lift and rental, staircases, and other areas that will cost more labor. Square footage does notwork for me either...

Stripper had to sit for an hour for this result. We tried at 45 minutes and it wasn't cutting it.

This is the first time I have ever had to stop washing and prepping decks in season because of weather. The back log we have due to all the rain has caused us to stop. Very difficult situation as it has a ripple effect on new scheduling. We have plenty of other work to keep us busy and we...

I tried to get the homeowner to let us do the house siding, now that the deck is done hopefully that will be next. Homeowner wanted as light as possible to contrast the house. It previously had a red tinted sealer on it. I love the house and the property too.

When I went out for the estimate on this job the homeowner wanted a price to replace his old cedar siding to match the new cedar siding on the house and then to stain it. I told him we could restore the wood back to original tone and stain in to where you really wouldn't be able to tell and for...

Many of us go on jobs where we see this damage and it seems to cause issues for some folks on how to handle these. There are times when a piece of wood or baluster needs to be replaced, many times this is the easiest thing to do depending on the damage. When the carpenter bees lay the eggs the...
