Were the logs dry? When my cousin built his log cabin, he waited a year 
after the logs were all up and during that year they settled quite a 
bit--several inches as I recall--at the corners and door and window frames. 
At that point he tightened everything down with heavy all-thread tied to 
the foundation.
