Renovation of a playground / park / athletic field in Wake Forest, North Carolina. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a playground / park / athletic field.

Mule Barn, Log Cabin, Chicken Coop. Check log by log for rot and mark each rotted log to assess percentage of salvageable material. Repair/replace rotted logs with old growth pine logs.1 Remove chinking and leave open between logs to encourage air flow. The chinking can be replaced using historically appropriate materials that are compatible. Apply Bora Care or equivalent to outside and inside of structure for fungicide/insecticide. Repair roofs (there are two large slits) and paint with elastomeric coating to extend the useful life of the roof. Add support by doubling up the sheathing boards under the roof to avoid damage by walking on it. This does mean you need to remove and reinstall the roof. Rather than using nails on the reinstall use screws with neoprene washers and apply elastomeric coating. Fence off the outbuildings or install signage to stay off buildings and treat with care.
