if you are walking around on the liner you are likely to tear it..sure it isn't squshy mud but it won't last very long being walked on,

Good point. 

A lot of those types of lined pools have sand either loose or in sand bags on top of liner for tear and wear protection.

James, we had a bunch of red pine on the property so we cut them down and used those. This a post and beam style build. This is my 3rd log home build using red pine. I milled the logs flat on the top and bottom with my saw mill. foam sill plate insulation was used in between each coarse as a gasket, and then I filled all cracks and voids with spray foam, and eventually everything gets chinked. Yes the logs are round on the inside as well. I will finish the partition walls with lumber that I milled.

Very nice James. My wife and I started our log build this year also. We pretty much have done everything but the roof including harvesting and milling the logs last year. We are not as far along as you are, we just now got it dried in.
