I don't think I know anyone else with a vertial log cabin. I  
know several people with cordwood and haybale homes in this  
area though.

Can you simply add a layer of insulation on the outside of the  
existing facing? I've seen that done on some homes in the area  
- seems like a much simpler solution than clearing space to  
work inside or opening the walls inside. A really old building  
in my downtown went through a reno like that, and they simply  
added boards to provide a "log home" look on top of the  
insulation outside.

Can imagine. I've done something almost similar when I needed  
to provide a supply of wash/flush water when my pump/well  
developed combined issues one summer.  I live next to a small  
lake.  I fetched water from the lake to the house when I needed  
to top-up my 120L supply in two 60L bins.  It is a short 100ft  
(30m) walk and a modest incline from the lake to the house, but  
with just two 10L buckets it took a while. The laundry machine  
would take a minimum 25L for a small wash.

My bathtub needs at least 40L before I don't feel like I'm  
sitting in a puddle.

I bounce around using both systems depending on the application  
too.  Around here, driving distance is simply measured in  
MINUTES though! :D
