"Judy and Lee, You can make home made pvc deer feeders that are hanging or up high enough to feed the deer and the turkeys can't get up to eat all the corn. I am thinking about making one. I liked the one with the 45 degree elbow facing up. Just…"

"We have a corn feeder but lately all we get are the crazy turkeys!! We did attract the deer in the beginning but if there is anything left over the turkeys come running!! Great picture."

JOHN MILLER replied to Greg Frey's discussion Cleaning Really dirty interior log walls"We are in the learning process as well in our 16 year old log home and we have found that an Osborn Brush works pretty well for cleaning up the logs and doesn't ''work you too hard''.
Good Luck"
JOHN MILLER replied to JOHN MILLER's discussion Finishing off fascia and soffit where eaves meet gable ends???"Thanks for the replies.

"John, the house with the green roof does not have soffit returns. Returns add support to the eaves and give you a vertical fascia to hang spouting.....in my opinion, the proper way to do it. To mimic your desired look, you would have to remove the…"
Jack Hutslar replied to JOHN MILLER's discussion Finishing off fascia and soffit where eaves meet gable ends???"I would suggest staying with the round look and use 1/4 round trim outside and inside. Caulk first to cut down on air flow. www.LogHomesByJack.com"

Scott Castle replied to JOHN MILLER's discussion Finishing off fascia and soffit where eaves meet gable ends???"John, You can look at some web sites to see the concept of tying in the fascia and soffet. Wikepedia has some pictures and Harde Board shows a detail. I'm sure you can find more sites. If you can't do it yourself, any framing or trim…"

CharisB said… - John - congratulations on your "new to you" log home! Very exciting. I have an educational booklet called Keeping the Dream Alive that I can send to you. It goes through the steps of finishing a log home from beginning to end. It's not sales-y at all, simply knowledge. Let me know if you'd be interested and I'll email it your way. My email is cbabcock@sashco.com.
Thanks! -- Charis with Sashco
