I have done 4 log cabins. The last 1 I did on T&M due to the fact that when i got the job the cabin was already built. That was the best [Linked Image]. You can do them several ways. The best is to meet the builder and work with him. Let him drill the logs etc. You install the wire. There is no need for suface mounted boxes. That is for people that dont know what they are doing. You should also figure about 3x the labor and wire from that of a regular house. As far as the recep covers flushing up to the logs, most plugs are put down lowthere is usually a piece of pine board about 8-10" thick that goes around the base and the plugs go in that. Hope this helps
