Weatherproof Your Log Cabin - Chinking and Daubing

#shorts

[geraldtakala]

Use the Finnish style of log construction where the logs are fitted to each other so the chinking is quite minimal.This does require learning new skills of fitting the logs to each other but produces a superior cabin

Certain aspects of the past would be lovely to still have in our everyday life. Maybe people wouldn’t be so miserable if there were a little more preoccupied.

You are the absolute best channel on YouTube. I love how often my random google searches lead up to well presented video by you. Thanks for each one!

Great instructional video! Thanks!
I’m going to do this to all the windows on my house this winter!
I checked my HOA rules & regs and I don’t see anything in there that says I can’t do this. 😃

I was hoping this was going to be another in-depth townson homestead video on winterizing. The original was still very good.

cedar bark, dung, and earth to make old fashion "calking" globs to fill in air gaps 😄 😆 😜

Thanks, Jon, for putting a Link to the full version of this video! Oh, and TRUE happiness be some good ol' Pony Rose Grow! 🐎

kinda surprised they aren't using a giant wooden mortar to prepare the material, I've seen many indigenous people do something like that for adobe bricks

The sound it makes, "Dung"!

I'd love to see Amish construction as it probably mimics early Victorian building practices.

Good choice of music:
🎶 *"Cold and raw the North did blow, *
*Deep in a morning early;*
*All the fields were hid with snow, *
*Covered with winter fairly..."* 🎶
