The Timeless Appeal of Log Homes
Log cabins such as Turtle Rock are the main feature of the American consciousness, and no one can come anywhere near to them except that they visualize the utopian times and the harum-scarum relation with nature. The houses that are made from logs were initially conceived to withstand weather and a log home that is well preserved can continue for several generations, thus supplying both durability and character. However, it still needs some care in order to retain its beauty. The icing on the cake would be that if the maintenance is done properly and efficiently, the pests, hot or cold weather, UV rays that would have otherwise acted as agents of decay, will not be able to do so, and the wood will be as if it is new.
During the rain and snow seasons, wood can become quite saturated if it is not treated and hence it can rot or get discolored. In order for the cabin to be well protected from such parts, the exterior has to be cleaned regularly and also stained and sealed as they are the main sources of protection. The deep overhangs on gutters and good drainage along doors and walkways help manage the water flow properly and thus less water is attracted to that place. What sun rays do is they destroy the wood in the process because they break down the surface of the wood and as a consequence, microfungi can more easily appear. Putting on a good stain that is UV resistant and is done every couple of years will take care of the wood against these bad influences and the wood will continue being full of life and of good texture.
The little creatures and insects that are living in the neighborhood of rural areas that are also a potential problem. By sealing the gaps and cracks, one can greately contribute to making the pests less likely to enter as they will not find a place to hide in. And, therefore, by just being consistent with the regular care of the cabin, both the owner and travelers can forget about the cabin’s health and just carry on enjoying it. These natural and simple care regimens not only guarantee the cabin as an investment but also accentuate the rustic charm of the cabin thus giving the visitors a chance to focus on the key part of the experience, which is making memories rather than worrying about the maintenance.
