Diary of building a concrete block house.
Why to build from concrete blocks? Concrete blocks are the best choice aginst the termites. Termites can infest and destroy a wood-framed or log houses. Furthermore, concrete block housess that include easy-to-install steel reinforcing can stand up to vicious hurricane winds. And fire typically does not cause a well-built concrete block houses to collapse. These houses can often be restored with much less effort than a wood frame houses destroyed by fire.
That two story concrete block house was designed and built by the non proffesional architecht and builder for his family. All design and engeneering for that house were made on a knee with a big look for the best smaples of the concrete housess.
That concrete block houses was planned as the second houses for the family most of the time living in the city apartment.
