When you plan the height of your cottage, do not forget to consider that a wooden log house for one and a half to two years gives a shrinkage by about 10-15%. Many professional builders say that it is best if the assembly is ordered immediately under the roof. Thus, you can not only protect the log house from precipitation, but also get a denser fit of logs. Do not forget that the design must be processed with special compounds.
And on this in no case can you save. It is best if you use the compositions that can protect your house from ultraviolet radiation, and from microorganisms, and from moisture. In this case, you can refuse to process the entire log house with a fire retardant. It will be enough for them to process some supporting elements.
Protective equipment should be applied to the log house twice. First time during manufacture, and the second – next year. Only after all these manipulations can it be possible to begin decorative lining. If it is about the bath, then you should not spend money on lining: a good design of logs and looks so beautiful.
Remember the fact that the northern side of wood is stronger than the south, so it is best to place it from the outside.
