hLet guests chronicle days in cabin with journal
Larry Bleidner probably had something eloquent -- or at least useful -- in mind when he put together "Our Cabin Companion," but its users will be hard-pressed to better capture the spirit of a place.
"Our Cabin Companion" is a fill-in-the-blanks guest book in which cabin owners can record all the necessary and helpful information their guests might need.
The book has sections dedicated to emergency information, household operations, recreational opportunities, entertainment sites, houses of worship and even tidbits about the household ghost.
A guest log in the back lets visitors record their thoughts, which -- if you're lucky enough to have colorful guests -- will provide no end of entertainment in the rereading.
"Our Cabin Companion" is published by Gibbs Smith, Publisher, and sells for $24.95.
Wood sealant toutslong-lasting benefits
A new wood protector lets you seal your deck or other wood surface and then forget about it for seven years.
The product, One Time, consists primarily of an acrylate resin blend that protects against water and UV rays.
It penetrates deep into the wood and becomes part of its cellular structure, according to the manufacturer and distributor, Bond Distributing Ltd. of Mayfield Village, Ohio.
One Time carries a seven-year limited warranty against damage from rain, wind and sunlight.
It can be used on pressure-treated and natural wood surfaces, including fences, siding, shake roofs, furniture and docks.
The protector is clear, but two semitransparent stain additives are available.
One Time can be ordered at (866) 723-7325, (440) 446-1853 or www.onetimewood.com on the Web.
The price is $69.95 for 1 gallon (enough to cover 250 to 400 square feet, depending on the age of the wood) or $299.75 for 5 gallons.
