I have a project of chinking a real old log cabin that was re built. Please do not confuse with every company offering products that are designed for the wealthy and dollar foolish folks. I'm interested in the old way of doing it, not back as far as sod or mud , but rather mortar type mix. Also what type of filler can we use. I have found a backer in six inch size, but the dang fools get two dollars a running foot for it. These logs have a gap of min 2" and probably 6" or 7" max. The logs have been pressure washed. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have plastered up many rock walls with mortar. We thought perhaps chicken wire stapled in the cracks would help reinforce the joint, and maybe running in some screws part way in the log would anchor the mixture. Thanks in advance.
