Question:

I have a log home that’s about 20 years old. The round logs were cut in such A way so they each sit flat on top of each other. What can I do to completely seal between the logs on the exterior ie. chinking or caulking and could you refer me to a contractor that does this.

Answer:

Chinking is about the only way that you can accomplish a seal. In fairness to all, I stay away from recommending people, services or companies.
