Anyone know how a builder would have insulated a real wood (not pre-fabricated) Log cabin built in 1981? Any chance they would have spilt the logs, then placed insulation in the middle and used the 2 sides of the logs as the facadeor do they just not insulate log homes?Any ideas? I am lookin at a log home tomorrow to possibly buy it, but am wondering about the heating/cooling costs.
In addition to rpm92's answer, will have to factor in the fact that your bottle isn't empty, but contains some quantity of non-compressible liquid that will make the amount needed to burst the bottle lower than expectedThough again since some amount of gas will dissolve in the liquid, a calculation factoring that in would then be too little to explode.
Its not all bowl cleaners that work but as a example this one doesThe hydrochloric acid in 'The Works' and the aluminum foil combine to create hydrogen gasthus sealed in a bottle will gain pressure making the bottle to rupture .

We built our log home in 2006, logs are tongue and groove d profile, That is round on outside, flat on insideThere is foam insulation between the log courses along with log stacker, (a type of caulk)If you look at the ends of the logs at the corners outside, you might be able to see if there is anything between coursesNow if the logs on the house you are looking at are stacked with chinking between courses it is entirely possible that there is very little insulation between the logsOur house is very easy to heat and coolThere is a term used with log construction called thermal massLogs by nature insulate very wellIf they are properly stacked and joined, there should be very little draft or air infiltrationAsk the owners for a copy of their utility bills for heating and coolingWe love our log home which by the way is in so east Michigan so it does get cold in winter and very warm in summer.
