Shortly before Spring had sprung that year I noticed an eye catching advertisement in a local periodical that had arrived in the mail. Log Home Restoration. Intrigued, I called the number and although it was after 8pm on a Friday night, had an educational conversation with Monte. He told me about his experience, the materials he used and approximate cost of re-staining this house. The house looked like battered up Lincoln Logs I told him. Monte responded with the fact that he would make it look like a beautiful piece of furniture. With those words, I agreed to have him over on Sunday morning so that he could demonstrate his technique to both the ex and myself.
It was a very brief meeting that Sunday... he stayed only 30 minutes or less, but we got a good feeling from him. He was knowledgeable, seemed hard working and showed us (by pointing to rooftops further up the mountain) projects that he had recently completed. He gave us a list of references, which I diligently called, only to discover good recommendations for him. The cost was prohibitive, but the work had to be done.
