Wood is a natural material that reacts to fluctuations in temperature and humidity. In humid conditions, logs expand, while in warmer, drier periods, they contract. Log houses are designed to accommodate this natural settling and adjustment process, making it vital to ensure that nothing interferes with this movement.
Additional details attached to the log house, such as rigid tubes and shelves, can interfere with the wood's natural swelling and shrinkage. To allow for this movement, either remove these details or adjust the way they are fixed in place.
The storm braces are either incorrectly attached to the walls or too tight. Adjust them by following the installation instructions or loosening the fasteners. You can read more about storm braces here: Why Do I Need to Install Storm Braces?
