Awesome post. Wood is cheaper and much easier to work with than stone so it makes sense.

Thanks a lot!
Yes, wood is cheaper - this is one of the reasons for its use, in addition, it retains heat well, it is very important in long cold winters. As for the simplicity in work, it probably depends on the specific stone and wood, I think building a really durable house from logs is still not an easy task.
