Hi All,
I have recently moved into a log home, which has been my dream for a couple of years now. Anyways, just recently, I noticed that there are little holes here and there on some of the logs. They first looked like a drilled hole, but they are not all the same size (ranging from 1/8 to 1/4 in). I am thinking this is some sort of insect that did this, but I poked a couple of holes, but nothing seems to "live" in there. I hope. Could it be something else? Woodpecker??
I know I should be dealing with this before it is too late, but here is where I need your help. The previous owners left me a big tube of PermaChink, should I use this to fill in the holes? Should I put something in there first? The house is made of white pine (HUGE logs, ranging from 18-24 inches) and was stained with some stain (which I dont think was "log home" stain).
Please help...I can send pics by email here is my email: kepic3@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
