How to Chink A Log Cabin

Do you need to chink your log home?

But, you simply don't know where to begin?

Or perhaps, you don't feel fully confident in your skills or knowledge to undertake this task?

You are not alone.

We get a LOT of requests for help with regard to how to properly chink a log cabin. In fact... it's our #1 request.

For those who are building their log home from start-to-finish we thoroughly cover "How to Chink" within our Log Cabin Academy series.

But what about those who already own a log cabin? What resourse is available for them when they need to chink? How can they gain access to the same great information on how to properly chink their home?

Well, we have great news for you!

The Chinking Academy is now here!

You are likely aware that properly chinking your log home is critical... perhaps the only thing more important for the long term care of your log home than chinking is to have a good roof above it. Thankfully, there are tens of thousands of good roofers out there, but there are very few individuals who know how to properly apply chinking.

And from what we have seen, hundreds of times over, there are many people who chink improperly... and the result is often severely damaging and costly.

It is a fact that the most frequent request for our hands-on log construction service has been to replace poorly installed chinking... and on each of these cabins we have needed to perform the repairs to the logs that were damaged as a result of the incorrect installation of chinking.

Unfortunately, we have found that most chinking that has been installed by others has been done so incorrectly. It is a rare occasion where we see it installed as well as it should be. It's sad... and often tragic. The repair costs that result from such improper work can run into the six figures and even result over time in the total loss of the home.

It cost no more, and takes little more effort to install it correctly. It's just a matter of taking the time to allow me to share with you how to do it... properly.

Properly installed chinking should make a log cabin more attractive and protect the logs that make up your home.

And as a great bonus... chinking should last a lifetime.

Listen folks... you want to get it right... when you install it... the first time. Take care of your log cabin, and it will take care of you.

Hi, I'm Noah Bradley...

(considered by many to be the leading authority on traditional log cabins)

I would like to help you properly chink your log home.

And I can do just that... by sharing with you all I know on the subject... and that can only be found in The Chinking Academy!

Introducing... The Chinking Academy!

"A step-by-step program for the Mastery of Chinking"

Chinking should ADD to the beauty of your log home.

And, help preserve it for centuries to come.

Installed improperly it can lead to the decay of your logs in only a few short years.

The choice on whether to install it properly is now yours to make.

You cannot learn all you need to know about chinking from watching a YouTube video...

or by reading an article from a magazine or book on the subject.

There is no other learning platform that will provide you with the guidance that you will find within The Chinking Academy. (we've looked)

In fact, we are SO confident in the overwhelming value of The Chinking Academy that we will offer you a thirty-day guarantee of complete satisfaction... or we will fully refund your enrollment fee.

Now you can of course turn this opportunity down and strike out on your own...

Having never chinked a log home before.

But, from what we have observed, the results of such attempts are most often disappointing.

And full of regrets.

(Regrets are one of those things in life that we should avoid whenever possible.)

You also have the option of taking a class from one of those industrial "log home kit suppliers" on how to apply synthetic chinking.

We here at Handmade Houses don't use these faux products.

We don't like them.

We don't recommend them.

We don't use them.

Never have.

Never will.

We feel that cement chinking is more attractive... and more durable... and much lower in cost.

With that being true... why would anyone use synthetic chinking?

Why would anyone buy a more expensive product...

that strives to look like a low-cost higher-quality mortar?

Do your own test... put something made of plastic on your sidewalk and then see which lasts longer... the plastic item... or the sidewalk.

"If one builds a house of wood and of stone… A home that has been lovingly hand-crafted of such wonderful natural materials as these… Why would anyone then coat about a fourth of their home in some kind of synthetic product?"

We have chinked hundreds of log homes, over the course of nearly four decades, and not a single one of these cabins has needed to be re-chinked. During this same time period we have replaced the improperly installed chinking on hundreds of other log homes... and repaired and/or replaced many unnecessarily damaged logs on those improperly chinked cabins.

So, do it right!... Enroll NOW in... The Chinking Academy! It's yours to easily access... right away... or at anytime in the future!

You Can Gain Lifetime Access To The Course Right Now!

Or perhaps, you aren't the "Hands-On" type...

But you want to learn how it is properly installed. You want to hire the best people to chink your log home and... you want to be assured that they are doing the work in the best way possible...

If so, The Chinking Academy is just right for you!

As an informed homeowner you will better enabled to partner with those who will be chinking your home to insure that this critical aspect of your home's construction is installed correctly.

Or perhaps, you are a professional log builder, one who would like learn all of the chinking insights found within The Chinking Academy... secrets that have been garnered from a lifetime of building, and restoring, log homes? After all it is one thing to have chinked a cabin recently... but quite another thing to be able to have gone back and reviewed the chinking that I installed on log cabins decades ago to see how well it has performed.

If you want to install chinking for the decades ahead...

The Chinking Academy is for you as well!

I want to help you chink your home... properly.

It is much easier, and cheaper, to chink a log home properly, than it is to do so poorly and then later have to remove it all and repair the resulting damage to the logs, and then finally... to chink your home the way it should have been done the first time!

Long ago I lost track of the number of log cabins that I have chinked... well into the hundreds, I am sure.

During my decades-long career I have gone back to cabins that I chinked beginning in the early 1980's and all my chinking has held up perfectly.

As a log cabin builder and restorationist I can say that the single largest number of inquiries that I have had throughout my career has been for assistance in replacing poorly done chinking. As I am writing this I am currently involved in consulting on two such homes. It is sad.

As I am nearing retirement I would like to pass on to you what I have learned from working on these treasured log homes, with the goal of helping you achieve a durable and attractive chink job.

The Chinking Academy is the result of decades of concentrated focus on chinking log homes in best possible way, and I'd like to pass on to you this knowledge... at a bargain price... a figure which pales in comparison to the value you will receive from the course.

Upon completing all the videos within the Chinking Academy I hope that you will also consider joining me in my other Academy courses... all of which I think you would find insightful and greatly rewarding.

I look forward to seeing you on the inside!

Noah
