Yea, pretty easy to prevent rot if following taught methods in class. One member has even toyed with the idea of chemical petrification. It would actually make the logs firePROOF! Don't know if it would be rot/bug proof too.

StressMan79, Thanks for the info. Every bit of info helps as I research the pros and cons of this type home construction.
Rreidnauer, Thanks for your response. I am sure there are many methods and processes to employ in order to preserve the logs. I will also continue to research this as well.
Loghousenut, I wanted to respond to you directly since you were the first to respond to my first post. Thanks for your response to my questions. You provided good detailed info that helps me as I continue to research the idea of building a log home. Thanks again.
Marko,
All the pertinent research is why we go to the class. All the general research you are trying to do now is covered in the class. In fact, there is so much research you cannot possibly retain it all. That is why the real value of taking the class is becoming a member of our association and getting on the member's side of the forum. That is where the real meat and potatoes are explained in detail and from every angle.

Feel the Bern!
I finished class yesterday. Currently sitting in the Vegas airport anticipating getting home to get the show on the road (er... The Logs on the foundation . I did exactly what you are doing. If you do your research and are handy it could be done without the class.... BUT, it was worth every penny for the wealth of information and printed materials you'll go home with. I haven't seen the members side yet but I now have all the confidence and knowledge I felt I was lacking to tackle the project and deal with inspectors. You won't be disappointed.
Also glad to hear it, Allen. I think the deal you get on house plans makes the class a bargain in its own right. You'll go nuts on the members side of the forum.
Every time I have strayed from the teachings of Skip Ellsworth it has cost me money.
I love the mask mandate. I hardly ever have to bruh my teeth anymore.
