   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
