It's great if you have mold allergies (I've sworn never to build with organic materials again, it's just plain stupid.) Also great if you have a hurricane problem.<BR/><BR/>Up in the cold states, I'd think you'd want to insulate with fibers mixed into the concrete (I've read about that). My father has a farm in Indiana, and my wife and I are considering building a house there -- of concrete.<BR/><BR/>Concrete's way lower-maintenance than wood, too.
