    I'm pullin a Gunny Highway

    The log wall is not a straight line and I did not want to cut in to the log to do typical flashing.
    Typical flashing detail is this

    So I'm not using the Detail "A" flashing. Instead I'm using the Counter flashing Detail "C" with a 6" leg over the roofing and the 1" leg down behind the metal roofing against the log. Then I add backer rod and caulking.

    That roof colour is perfect for the project. Thanks for sharing.

    That is still being investigated by the Architectural Review Board.:whistle:
    I don't get to make that decision.:headbang:
    Probably a stain, lighter color than the logs and a good sealer.

    Would cladding the posts with aged barn wood be an option? Assuming it's available.

    The log house on the other side of the crick is the same vintage. But didn't stay in the family.

    I've got about 2,000 board feet of white oak. I'm in Palmyra, 17078. I'm happy to help you. Send me a DM.
