ABSTRACT:
An improved chinking closure system (10) is provided for adjacent logs in a log structure. The closure system (10) comprises a compressible block member (28) which is inserted into a chink (12) defined between adjacent logs. The block member (28) has a longitudinal axis which is substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis of each of the logs defining the chink. In the preferred embodiment, first and second closure members (46 and 46'), each have an upper portion which is releasably connected to the lower portion of the first log, and each having a lower portion which is releasably connected to the upper portion of the second log. These closure members are mounted on opposite sides of the compressible block (28) which is enclosed within the chamber defined between the closure members, and the upper and lower logs.
