Common practice round these parts is to treat and stain barns with PA crude. Hey, I have a well producing the stuff so I said what the heck. Cheryl and I washed the garage 2 weekends ago and last weekend we put oil on 3 sides of the garage. Today we started the front side. Took some pictures that show the 3 stages. The garage door front has fresh PA crude oil on it. The oil on the sides has been on 1 week. Cleaned hemlock is on the top. The right side is in constant shade, the left and back side gets all the weather. I think I'm going to second coat the left and back.
