Yeah it will be a bit tricky. Brace it all up, including center beam for 2nd floor, break out the chinking with brick filler, and cut the logs out. They are the ones behind the flag from door to rear corner. I'm looking for some hand-hewn logs 12' in about the same dimension. The log is exposed inside as well, with the stairs up against it. So stairs need to come out. That rear corner will be the big challenge. Water damage to other logs above and and the interlocking ones on the back wall. I'm going to have to get a heavy post on there bolted in for support, then make a corner board that is structural. Otherwise it would be replace a lot more logs. It's fortunate these logs run into the door frame and not to the other corner. I'm looking forward to it.

The problem is how the chinking was done to be flush with face of logs. The way they were done was recessed a bit and covex, which prevented water from getting in behind
