The Dirkin house is an older log structure with gables and lower siding in great shape but covered in multiple coats of an older style barn red stain. The owners image of the house is a cleaner, more natural appearance
First step in the restoration process was to strip all of the red siding areas and all log areas with the "Kernel"
The older stain was in very good shape, as was the log stain, but using the "Kernel" with a medium-grit corn media produced much cleaner walls and great results overall.
After four days of stripping with the kernel the crew will begin staining early next week
