>All walls need to "breath" enough so that moisture will never be trapped anywhere. Modern building materials used by contractors are the worst ones to use. They trap moisture and cause problems that ensure job security for the contractors.

so building stone withour concrete? why are you so against slipform stoning for house non foundatin walls if you do the slipform by yourself?

Im from Croatia and peasant stone houses in Dalmatia are superb quality but I have no idea what concrete they used.
