My homemade chinking recipe

Over the winter I built these split cedar log walls for the polebarn

in order prepare for the chinking I put some hardware cloth in the larger cracks

The goal is to have a mixture that allows the wood to breath

my recipe uses 1.5 parts portland cement

2 parts river coarse sand

1.5 clay and 1 part wood ash.
