With losing power over and over the struggle is real and staining is becoming difficult. This stain is a very translucent color and with my limited experience with an airless sprayer, Its making for a tough challenge to get the color even. Either way, we push ahead and keep making progress.

About Me.
In 2018 I decided to stop working for someone else full time and pursue my dream of building my log home and starting a small farm in the Ozark mountains. It's a dream that I have had and have been working towards for over 20 years, and due to life changes and unexpected events, I decided to make a leap of faith. This journey will not be without its challenges and setbacks, but I will continue to push forward each and every day to make this dream a reality. I try to upload videos 3 days a week but working mostly alone I am always pressed for time.
You can also follow me on other social media as well.

Of all the channels I watch doing this, your home is by far the most beautiful. You took on a large challenge and had some bumps, but your progress is awesome and inspiring. Keep it up. Would love to see more of the family.

You did a fantastic job with the stain! Even if it hadn't turned out as good, by the time the furniture & pictures are up you wouldn't have even noticed. But I know you want it to look as perfect as possible because it is a LOT of work. Yes, the winds were absolutely awful. Hope you already have a generator or two now that you know how much the power can go out - glad it didn't happen during a snow storm.

I thought chinking was a pain in the posterior but I am convinced that this stain process is a close second. Not that it is all that difficult but trying to discern where the stain has been covered and what still needs to be covered would drive me batty. I can see why painters may have bad habits!

Hi it’s a bit of a shame that you can’t put an additive in it like we have it here in Australia with white ceiling paint is when you put it on it is pink but when it dries dries white that would be wonderful if you could add it to the spray

Raw wood is best hit with a dedicated sealer first. Then you can apply your finish more evenly.
@hickoryridgehomestead9177
@hickoryridgehomestead9177 2 жыл бұрын
I tried that first on some extra pieces but the stain wouldn't penetrate at all. It was just left sitting on the surface and you could just scrape it off with your fingernail. I have 20 gallons of sealer that I didnt use for that reason.

I think you chose the proper wood treatment and, yeah, it appears to be a challenging job with the sprayer. Evening light from table lamps, etc. will cast lovely shadows upon the stain. Nice work.

Been keeping up for a long time !!! I dont comment hardly ever, my bad ! Dude! When you walk into that awesome house, don't you kinda fall over a little bit and say to yourself " Holy S#!+ I built this !!!!! " When the balcony rails went in I was like " Holy S#!+ somebody just put the star on the Christmas tree". Somebody needs to make you a sign that says "Holy S#!+ I Built this !!! " maybe 4 of them, one for each side of the house !
