description: With an ancestry as old as the country itself, log homes may be the quintessential American dwelling. Despite their enduring appearance, their exteriors require regular TLC. Author Jim Renfroe is a 30-year veteran in the wood preservatives industry, has now taken much of the mystery out of taking good care of a log home.Chock full of information, yet written in a simple, informative style, Renfroe begins with a study of wood itself, and discusses the natural elements and man-made factors that can cause deterioration and damage. He walks the reader through various methods of regular maintenance of a log home's exterior, as well as complete restoration, from stripping and repair to final finish sealant. THE LOG HOME OWNER'S MANUAL appeals for aesthetic and utilitarian reasons, and should be a popular addition to any expository collection.
