Why logs?
Logs are big, heavy and they rot. Logs also burn, and you can get splinters, or sticky hands from the sap. They expand a bunch when they are wet, and shrink a bunch when it’s dry. Trees also don’t grow straight so you need expensive equipment to cut them straight.
Have you considered bricks? You could build a brick house. Bricks are easier to make. They are straight and don’t burn like flimsy logs. You don’t need to cut them, and sand them, and stain them, and paint them. Bricks don’t get termites, they are woodpecker proof. You can shit bricks. Bricks are a more superior building material than wood, or straw.
