Log homes suck. Way too much maintenance. They're beautiful, but I'll never own another one. Magnet for bugs, woodpeckers, and rodents.

I currently have Benjamin Moore Arborcoat exterior oil-based semi-solid stain on exterior pine accent logs on my home. It has been on my logs for about 2 years. I tried applying Benjamin Moore Woodluxe oil-based semi-solid stain over the existing stain in a test area, but it did not seem to cover well, after about one month there were areas that looked like it had washed off. All of the instructions for stains these days seem to call for removal of the existing stain, getting down to bare wood. This is next to impossible for for me to do. Is there an oil-based semi-solid stain that I can apply directly over the existing oil-based semi-solid stain without having to strip the logs to bare wood? Is it possible that the Woodluxe did not cover well because the existing Arborcoat is not sufficiently weathered to accept new stain? Any ideas?

Hey there! Are you certain that your Benjamin Moore Arborcoat is actually the oil-based versions? I know they also make a waterborne alkyd/acrylic semi transparent stain, which is the first thing that came to mind. Putting the oil based over the water based could cause that. If indeed it is the oil-based Arborcoat on your existing logs, then I would agree with you and assume your Arborcoat is still performing like it should and you are not in need or a re-coat, which is why it is not accepting new stain.

Yep. My Arborcoat cans are labeled oil.

😢 just bought a log home. Feel like I got screwed bad. My forever home is turning into a nightmare. I feel like the agent,owner and inspector all knew. Devastated. I need blasting,staining log repair,new windows,roof, gutters and more. There's water damage. Sad time for my husband and I ....wish I would have had you to do a walk through. Retirement for us at this moment is not a celebration 😥

Your home inspector probably didn't know what he was looking at. Maintenance can quickly get out of hand and not obvious to someone who doesn't know what to look for.

Good information provided. My husband and I are looking at buying a log cabin in New Mexico and some of our/my questions were answered here. I'll end up watching all your videos for more info.

I'm looking into buying a log cabin in Finland. What is the process for looking after the interior that is different to the exterior. Great video, thanks.

Hey there! Generally, the interiors of log homes require little maintenance and what you choose to do with it is mostly for aesthetics. This is because the logs are not exposed to the elements on the inside! That said; they can still get UV damage and you may experience a “picture frame” effect if the walls are unfinished. Applying an interior clear coat is not a bad idea!

I really enjoyed your Hunting cabin video where you had trouble with your lift truck. Not knowing anything about your equipment or state of equipment is a big liability. If you were a sailor crossing the ocean you would not go without knowing every inch of the boat and how to fix it. If you were an astronaut going to the moon those guys knew every inch of their ride and could fix anything that could be fixed if needed. A little of this attitude would prevent a delay and setback or at least a situation not becoming a complete surprise when needed. Its important to be able to fix your stuff and have an understanding of what is wrong even though you may be able to afford to have the work done by others. I have been a mechanic since i was 30 years old, not much gets by me these days. Automotive dealer garages and some car repair shops are mostly dishonest in Florida charging hours for work taking minutes and testing the owners pocket books with work not needed.
