The logs shrink the most over the first year and then shrink and expand with climate changes.<br /><br />But the LHBA guys will tell you that it's really not necessary. The individual log shrinkage isn't huge; it's the cumulative shrinkage on an entire wall that causes issues.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038713225742735363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838646.post-67744871931511961502012-08-20T08:12:41.285-07:002012-08-20T08:12:41.285-07:00Yes, they do use rebar, which keeps the house from...Yes, they do use rebar, which keeps the house from settling, and also keeps you from having to crank the roof back down on top of the walls every year. And your doors and windows won't get out of plumb or be crushed by the walls. So, yes, the chinking is necessary.<br /><br />But there are are benefits to using Butt and Pass, rather than Scandinavian coping, or using dowels or any of the other notched techniques. With butt and pass, you're using trees (logs), not dowels, which means you're removing only the bark, leaving the bug-resistant, rot-resistant Cambrian layer intact. You're not weakening the log by cutting notches in it that will effectively act as a wedge to split the log (especially if you're not suspending them with rebar).<br /><br />I HIGHLY recommend attending the class and learning from these guys all of the DOs and DON'Ts of building your log home. They're very knowledgeable about all of the building methods used to build "log" homes and you will come away with everything you need to make an informed decision on the method you choose.<br /><br />Please keep me posted on your progress.

I was wondering if I should try it(Butt and Pass), but I heard if you use rebar through the logs the house is supported by the rebar, and not by the wood, which is why with rebar when the wood shrinks it doesn't settle on top of each other but remains in place, and thats why chinking is necessary. I'm greatful for any info you can give, we need to get going on this soon, and we need to make a final decision.
