We construct Calabi-Yau threefolds by smoothing normal crossing varieties, which are made from the building blocks of $G_2-manifolds$. We compute the Hodge numbers of those Calabi-Yau threefolds. Some of those Hodge number pairs ($h^{1,1}$, $h^{1,2}$) do not overlap with those of Calabi-Yau threefolds constructed in the toric setting.

For any even integer n, we show that there exists a log Calabi-Yau threefold (Y, D) such that the Euler characteristic of Y is n. Furthermore Y is smooth and D is smooth anticanonical section of Y that is a K3 surface.
