A low-maintenance finish that gives a silver patina color. Pigment obtained from your local hardware store may be added to give some color. (When using pigment, more maintenance will be required.)

warm water before spraying.) Initial color ranges from gray to light brown or olive brown, depending on the type of wood, but matures to a silver patina. LifeTime is for all outdoor wood. LifeTime is nontoxic, environmentally friendly, and made from naturally occurring plants and minerals. LifeTime comes in a powdered form, making storage and shipping easy. Coverage: Approximately 125-167 sq. ft. per gallon. Cleanup: Soap and water. Notes: Do Not Use With PeneTreat. Mix LifeTime in a plastic pail - not metal.

Meet the Staff:

CSR: Tanja Tilleskjor

Tool Talk: Carpenter Bee Coffin

We are happy to welcome Tanja Tilleskjor into our family at Schroeder Log Home Supply. She has recently joined us as a cus-tomer service representative, so you may be hearing her on the phone the next time you call. Tanja is originally from Dayton, Minnesota. She moved to North Carolina soon after she was born because her father was in the Marines and was based out of North Carolina. They moved back to Min-nesota and resided in Dayton for many years. She later moved to St. Cloud, which she considers her home town.

“I think the staff here is wonderful; every-one is very friendly and extremely helpful.

I like how this company treats its custom-ers and helps them above and beyond.” She says she is excited to learn more so that she can be better help for both her co-workers and the customers.

Her hobbies outside of work are mountain biking and exploring the beautiful Min-nesota backroads and trails. She also enjoys finding new and exciting things to do with her seven-year-old Shelby. If anyone knows of any fun trails or places she can take Shelby, she would love to hear about them.

Give us a call and ask for Tanja to greet a new, friendly voice. Welcome, Tanja!
