I'll never bitch about living in a concrete house again...thankfully, they're only in the molding over an add-on made to the slab foundation over a seam in the concrete....all the wood here is in the roof or in the moldings. PIA for remodeling but I just found a positive aspect to all the concrete walls besides noise reduction.
