Brow logs are the most important because they tie the whole structure together and are hard to replace. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-68005670473772688142015-07-10T15:50:17.498-07:002015-07-10T15:50:17.498-07:00This was the second burn on the same log.

The east ends get the worst weather and sun, so those ends of the logs have deteriorated the most. John is covering the ends of his brow logs with 55-gallon plastic blue barrels to keep the sun and elements away. If we do it, I think I would look for black barrels to use. They are less common, but would look a lot better I think. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-16406029351903855562015-07-10T15:47:57.094-07:002015-07-10T15:47:57.094-07:00We sure are.

It reminded me of how people used to close up wounds by cauterizing them. Goes to show that some healing processes are similar for all living things. Though, I suppose logs are no longer considered alive. <br /><a href="http://www.take25tohollister.com/2015/06/three-more-days-until.html" rel="nofollow">Take 25 to Hollister</a> Su-sieee!
