Log wall in a bathroom under renovation, showing exposed wooden beams, a window with tools on the sill, and construction materials scattered on the floor.
Hi, I will soon start framing the log wall in the bathroom.
I will frame at cc45. (Might tile in the future)
Plywood, drywall, and waterproof flooring as surfaces.
I wonder how I should handle the log frame, should I seal it with flax tow? What is the next step?
Hope 45x45 studs are ok?

The log frame has been additionally insulated externally by previous owners.

Plywood, plaster, and wet room mat as surface layers.

How did you do it? I'm working on this now.

Hi!
That particular wall was aligned with 45x45 studs and insulated with cellulose insulation. If I had used 45x75, it would have resulted in a thick wall. I didn't have any pipes in the wall.
Used pieces of Masonite behind the studs, the length of the stud could vary 0-10 mm.
Do you have windows?
 
Hello! Yes, two windows. A narrow one just like you plus a low-built one below the roof slope.
 
Timber moves with seasonal changes, snow load etc.
So do not anchor the bathroom in such a way that the two walls cannot move vertically relative to each other.
Could be a risk I think..

Then we probably have very similar houses. I have a low fixed one in the attic. Have you started building anything?
 
The backside.

It's going slowly right now. I've been shoveling snow all evening. So now I’m pretty tired. We'll see, maybe tomorrow I can take some photos so you can see the project.
