I would be very cautious when purchasing any home with log rot. Please look at my suggestions about hammering on the logs to determine the extent of the problem.

If one log is found bad there might be more. Please use the hammer and do the tapping thing to determine this. With a photo and deminsions I could give you some costs.

For logs to rot from the interior is very uncommon. Ther has to be water infiltration to that area. Leaking water tank, hose bib, bath tub, etc. Replacement is the solution. With photos and deminsion I could give you some costs. Please use the web for sending.

verticle logs are the hardest to deal with. I have snapped a chalk line 6 inches from the bottom and cut off the ends. Then installed a horizontal log into the opening. Calk to seal

That is very odd to have rot problems so soon. Is there a rain gutter leaking or lack of roof flashing? Look for a cause.

Historical guideliness does allow log replacement. For epoxys call Timeless Woodcare at 800-564-2987

Yes, We remove walls from existing homes. You might contact a engineer for weigh bearing. Log posts might also be neccessary

Sounds like there is a structual problem with the wall, I would have aprofessional give you some costs to repair/replace the wall.

Replacement is still cheaper and in most cases looks better. With a photo I could make the call replacement/epoxy.
