The frame like I said is concrete block. They then put stucco on the front only to give it some texture and to look better. You can't really tell in this picture that the is stucco there.

These 2 are of the back of the house. In the first one you might be able to see the outline of the concrete blocks. They didn't stucco the back or the sides. Either way, it's a concrete block frame and of course wood interior and then drywall. Since I live in Florida concrete block homes are pretty safe with all the wind a hurricane can produce. We have wood frame homes around, but I'd rather have a concrete block home. Here's the pics.


So that's our house.
Am I correct that they use the concrete block in Florida to keep the homes cooler because of the humidity?
I love the trees in your back yard - and your home is lovely.
