Our 2 story, open ceiling, styrofoam roof insulated ,27 year old log home outside Nashville has always creaked loudly, especially late PM, worse in summer. Anything that can be done? Thank you.

Nothing you can really do. They all do it. The bigger the logs the louder they are. It’s from the cool air in the evening causing the logs to contract. I’m sure they do it in the morning when the sun starts to hit the logs and causes them to expand.
