What uses do you find for rough stone? -------------------- Caveman Aulus Livius Maximus World Traveler, 7 Continent Walker LEVEL 3 LIFETIME MEMBER Referral Code: SE2104

Some new air leaks too - living here this winter changed some things.... Is ther a product that will perform well under both conditions? -------------------- Caveman Aulus Livius Maximus World Traveler, 7 Continent Walker LEVEL 3 LIFETIME MEMBER Referral Code: SE2104

You are going to have to determine an "average" width to determine which product to use. Each of these joint situations may require a different product. Your brain will have to determine the averages. Fill in the blanks. Average width of typical horizontal log joints: Average gap width where soffit connects to log terminations (including gables): Average width of log lacing corner joints: Purlin penetration gaps (support/structural logs which penetrate the structure): -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!
