So you don't have hundreds of seams like block.

I've been in many homes installing filters and I see block wall with seams/cracking etc. If it's inside I assume it's outside.

When those cracks aren't repaired timely water damage and maybe pathways fro termites to roof????

If I were going concrete I look to poured.

You know in time the stucco will need to be repainted, not sure how many years.

By the way painters charge here I guess 3-5,000 dollars

Our first designer was concrete block and stucco. We now have a frame/vinyl designer home and for the reasons Jimbo has pointed out in this post and others. Its a matter of choice, looks, utility and cost.
