Finishing Drywall against log...
My mom is building a log cabin. The upper floor is drywall and log frame. Unfortunatly it is hard to find quality work in the rural area of the cabin and we also do not have the luxury of being at the cabin watching over all of the work being done. The drywaller installed the drywall by putting a flat edge against a log (natural- not flat). There are noticeable gaps at the edges. Needless to say the job was not paid in full because of this issue, but the drywall will also not be redone. Any suggestions for fixes or coverups?

Possibly a quarter round or shoe moulding that you prestain the color of the logs and then trim inside the corner where the drywall meets the log. Is this a flat log interior or round? That would make a huge difference because this will only work on a flat inside log. If it is a round log, there should have been a slot cut into the log wall and the drywall should have been slid into the slot which allows the logs to settle around it. If the trim works, be sure to fasten it to the drywall and no the logs because if this is a new home, there will most likely be some settlement over the couple of years and it will pull the trim loose. Good Luck!
