I built one a few years back, we used aspen logs and had them milled on three sides so they were D shaped logs, used wood dowels to pin them and 14 inch pole barn spikes driven thru them to hold them together, used foam chinking between the logs that looked like a rope. All the doors and windows were built so they went into grooves on the edges so expansion causes very little trouble. Interior walls were also built with a slide at the top to allow for expansion. The aspen logs dont expand as much as pine, but extra care had to be used when treating the wood as any untreated areas are prone to rot more quickly than pine. All in all it is a great house 32x40 with a huge deck,easy to heat, with a full basement and all volunteer help we built it for about 70 grand and it appraised for 180. But it is a MAJOR job. especially when you cut and mill all your own logs.
