Entries about log houses
It is also a fact that no matter what log home kit you have used, all log homes are tend to settle with time; settling means shrinking and compression of the logs. There will be less likelihood of shrinking if good seasoned logs are used. Moisture on the logs is removed by seasoning and this minimizes the probability of shrinking. Settling due to compression is unavoidable since the logs, which are mounded on top of each other, likely to press down the logs that are placed underneath. Settling due to compression is very common in tall structures.
