NOT SO FAST on the termites!!! We had a block home and guess what? We HAD TERMITES!!!! My home in TV from my renter who was a builder stated that the frame home was built quite well and better insulated. ALSO BLOCK homes DO in fact get a number of cracks on it over time from settling and WATER damage........Case in point on my block wall that I have! Constantly fixing............
