Very carefully! But seriously, if it's a manufactured log home, then there will be chases already cut into the wall pieces to feed wires through. If it's a real log house, then you need to get yourself a heavy duty 1/2" chuck hammer drill and a loooong 1" bit. Then plan on spending several days drilling. If the home is under construction, this will be easier because you will only have to drill through so many timbers. Feed most of the wiring up from the crawl space when you can, and plan on a central wall chase to get wiring to overhead. I really would suggest contacting a builder who specializes in these type of homes and getting the number to his electrician. You typical handyman electrician is not going to want to tackle this job and you are not going to want to pay what he wants to do it either. This probably isn't the answer you were looking for but, Good luck.

Well you should be very careful while wiring up a log cabin homes. It is very much sensible and risky. And small mistake can be very much costly and may make you pay hard for it. You can ask for the much experienced experts to perform this task. Or you can also search for the online help or ordering. I did my wiring of log cabin home last week with a company with a online order they did great. Good Luck.
