Sealing cabin
 
My cabin is in need of sealing this season or next. I have the can of stuff
they used, a Behr product, IIRC. Right now, it is up at the cabin, tho. It
is a sealer/stain. It is sticky for about six months or longer after
application. Does anyone know if this is rolled on, or put on with a
sprayer?

Is that a good idea or a trick question? I figure in the desert, with
blowing dirt and dust storms the cabin "seal" will have fine dirt
attached to the cabin.

You joshin me... right?

What kind of a cabin, home guy will trash talk you for not telling us
that.

That's how it seals it up-- saves you having to caulk.

Damn-- Wish I could help-- Just had to say that I thought you'd given
up on ground squirrels and had a cabin full of clubs up in the arctic.

When my neighbor gets back from his cabin in southern Utah, I'm gonna
ask him.

(stop joshin' me)

What did they do during the depression dust bowl? Sand up to, and
past the windows did not require caulk...

Caulk is cheap, don't cha know?
