npub1qqzqpahkkya72xyh5mf7sgl7wyj565r4vy6hrh8z7c9mp5q0g0sq3xt6ge (npub1qqz…t6ge) I'm thinking (but it's Lucy's house, it's her decision) of 'paying' the seams, in the way in which ship's decks used to be caulked. These logs are not perfectly dry, no matter how tight we lay the boards they'll shrink a bit and there will be gaps.
'Paying' is a technique of stuffing the gaps with a loose yarn of cotton and then sealing it with either tar or a mastic (I'm old enough to have used a red lead putty, although that is now illegal). It creates a striped effect.
