[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5028352, member: 17"] We are very pleased, but still have a few walls to go. Waiting on plumber to finish bathroom plumbing. Then comes all the boring trim work. The trick with the interior walls was designing them to handle any settling of the exterior log walls as they dry and shrink. All of the interior walls had to have a 2-inch gap at the top for the roof to settle down onto. They are held in place by bolts run up through the walls into the ceiling. That gap is covered by wide trim boards fixed only to the roof. As the roof settles, the trim boards slide down both sides of the walls. Where interior stick walls meet exterior log walls, slots had to be cut in 2x4s where they meet the logs, so the bolts that fix them to the exterior logs could slide downwards as the walls settle.
