moisture and log homes

I'm looking at poured vs block basement walls.  I'm hesitant to go with block as I've never been in a basement with block walls that didn't stink.  What has your experience been?Continue

"If you read the specs, high pressure water removes it, along with soaps, a lot of handling etc. So it looks neat but that is it. Joe"
