        "text": "Before contractor work begins, homeowners should trim back shrubs and tree branches at least three to four feet from exterior log walls to allow clear ladder and staging access. Turn off exterior automated sprinkler systems that spray the home, and provide clear access to exterior water hookups and electrical outlets. You should also note specific areas where you have noticed drafts, water leaks, or interior drywall damage so the crew can evaluate both exterior log seals and interior framing conditions.",
