Default Log Homes - any problems?

We've seen a house that we like the look of but it's a log home and we know nothing about them. Does anyone on here have any experience of them and whther they have any particular problems?

It needs extending and the agent reckoned log homes are particularly easy to extend as the whole wall can be moved out, anyone know if this is true? Also is it true that they are naturally better insulated than most aussie homes?

Cheers guys
