So I have a log cabin now. It has been stained once or twice before. They used water based stain.
My original thinking was the next coating should be paint so I have better and longer lasting protection.
Now I’m reading that paint can lead to rot since a cabin needs to breathe.
Who knows anything about log cabin maintenance? Is paint really that bad? If you do stain, what are the pros and cons of oil vs water based stain?
Water are your thoughts with cleaning and prep prior to staining? Is power wash good or bad?
