Our log home was built in alaska – i thing the wood was green – well I’m concerned about the long checking in it which at some areas about 3 inches wide and are splitting across the whole structual beam on all sides – is this safe – the wood seams to be dry, what should I do, Thank-you Debbie

Checking on interior logs is pretty common if they are still somewhat green (sometimes even if they are good and dry). Normally it really isn’t an issue with integrity, but you should have a structural engineer look at to be on the safe side. Most any larger construction company has one on staff.
