About this title

Synopsis

With an ancestry as old as the country itself, log homes may be the quintessential American dwelling. Despite their enduring appearance, their exteriors require regular TLC. Author Jim Renfroe is a 30-year veteran in the wood preservatives industry, has now taken much of the mystery out of taking good care of a log home.Chock full of information, yet written in a simple, informative style, Renfroe begins with a study of wood itself, and discusses the natural elements and man-made factors that can cause deterioration and damage. He walks the reader through various methods of regular maintenance of a log home's exterior, as well as complete restoration, from stripping and repair to final finish sealant. THE LOG HOME OWNER'S MANUAL appeals for aesthetic and utilitarian reasons, and should be a popular addition to any expository collection.
