38 viewsHaving the thicker wall would necessitate using aluminum windows, but these I would now select in all cases, even if I was using the regular cement block. It is becoming the window of choice and with good reason. Easy maintenance, it doesn't degrade due to weather or direct sunlight. It looks modern. The screen used can be slid open. One notable downside is that normally the security metal needs to be mounted on the outside which looks ugly. In any event, this would be my window of choice on subsequent projects.dozer

36 viewsAs stated in the blurb in good building ideas, I like the idea of using double regular block construction. This could also be modified to have one row of red brick in combination with one row of the regular cement block. This would increase building costs little percentage wise, since it would require only a slight increase in labor and inexpensive materials (regular cement block and cement). I would like to try either using this double block construction, or investigate using the heavy cement block as an alternative.dozer
