Our
historical society has an 1880s historic log cabin on site that is in
need of some repair. An Eagle Scout candidate is going to rechink/daub
the cabin for his project this summer. We have settled on a daub
"recipe" to use (portland cement, sand, and lime) but are having a hard
time finding a VOLUNTEER to direct and train the scouts HOW to mix and
apply the daubing mixture. It is not in the project budget to pay a
professional to oversee the project. My questions:
Does anyone have any good, detailed instructions on how to chink/daub a historic log cabin (logs are
rectangular)?
Are there any good videos you could share that illustrate the process?
Does anyone know of any individuals with experience in this area that live in the Twin Cities, Minnesota area?
Thank you to anyone who might be able to help on this one!
Erin
