I just joined the talk forums. I was in the process of searching for some tips and tricks on instalation of Pine log Siding. We have in the past installed many different types of siding from vinyl to steel but this is the first time we are doing log. I have found it beneficial in the past to search around for tips. Why learn by trial and error if someone has already learned for you. Anyway some question I had are:
What types of nails should I use.
What are the spacing of the nails(every 16,32,?)
Should we make but joints or bevel our joints.
window and door trim tips
exterior light and outlets, how to cut them into the logs so they dont look like crap.
And any other tips that would be handy.
