He always advised people to go stucco, if they could afford it, because of termites -- even in TV. He said no matter how well you maintained your home or how clean you kept you can't depend on your neighbors.

Here we go again. The implied image or suggestion that some cannot afford a Stucco! Poor people you had to settle for a frame home. Ohhh my you built a Frame! So sorry for you!
Sorry don't cut it! Termites do not discriminate on getting into a attic or interior WOOD WALLS that are in both constructions.
A Tornado or Hurricane of Flood does not have Google Weather and as it strikes. Oh Gee its a Block Home they get bypassed?
Different people have different taste and gosh it boils down to just that. As my friends Carm and Pat they just wanted the look. I am Happy for them.
I have a Dear friend almost a brother in TV who built a Block home. I am concerned for him. His Wooden Roof Trusses in less than 8 months have sagged causing his ceiling to distort crack and move down. TV came out and repaired the ceiling only to immediately have it move again.
He has paid to consulted with a truss engineer as to the strength and construction of his roof. The entire roof might have to come off and some interior walls rebuilt stronger?
And Geeee Golly Wizz. It's a Block Stucco Home.
