I am quite new to the construction industry and am about to undertake the renovation of an old log cabin, so I have some questions.
1. Do you need to insulate a log wall where the logs are 155mm thick?
2. If I need to insulate, should I use plastic or something similar between the logs and the insulation?
3. I am going to install tongue and groove paneling in one of the rooms, do I need anything behind it or can I install it directly on the framework behind it?

The timber is visible on the outside and we would preferably like to keep it that way. The cabin will not be heated year-round, only when we are there, as it is heated by a wood stove.
Okay, thanks for the reply

If the timber is beautiful on the inside, I wouldn't cover it and would invest the money in regulating humidity and rapid heating.
