Reply to "Basements...Poured Concrete or Cinder Blocks?"

May just be a matter of symantics... But be sure to distinguish between cinder blocks and concrete blocks.  The latter are preferred nowaday since they are produced with more dense aggregate.  I would definitely not build or buy a home with "cinder block" construction.

 

 

As to the difference between concrete block or poured concrete... If building a custom home, I'd go with concrete block foundation.  However, if I were buying a home already constructed, neither concrete block nor poured concrete would rule the house out if it had an otherwise "ideal" basement for a model railroad empire.
