For our friends where the use of this much wood would be exessive, as it is enough lumber to build 10 home of equal size, these are some examples of log homes on this site.
http://www.loghomebuilders.org Gaps in the logs are often filled with mortar, or simular plaster.
Seriously though, the floor outlet and a Homeworks panel idea may even save you and the home owner money the way the guys who have done them make it sound. Unless there is an easier way horizontal in the baseboard? Other-wise, I can see the unhappy customer browsing the T&M billing from here. "2 hours lay-out, 5 hours wait-time, 1 hour labor." They must be informed that this is "Form before Function" in the highest sense of those words. Add an anti-whineing/sulking clause to the un-limited T&M contract.
Hanging around a site while the structure is built sounds like an expensive working vacation to me. Even if done T&M, you may want to take up a hobby to stave of boredom. Or better yet run an on-site catering buisiness selling breakfast and lunch might be more profitable. After-all, what else are you going to do with your time as they set each log? Personally, I would demand that it be made as easy and efficiant as possible for the electrical install, and if the creativity of the carpenters cant come up with an estetic way to hide my work, then so be it. Other-wise it sounds like a full-time job on that site alone, with all other contracts for that employee, or yourself shut off, for the duration.
