There are still alot of those houses in my area! I remember them well. The size of these blocks are 8x8x16, so they're alot taller, I wouldn't have to cut windows because I can turn them on their sides. and for the door, I can buy a half- block to make that entrance work. I do have a masonry saw and bits; my dad likes to keep his tools at my house. It keeps his wife happy that he's not cluttering up their shed.
Good point, I'm going to do more number crunching and see if it's worth it!
Thanks,

A lot of homes in the 60's were built out of 4"x8"x16" cinder block walls installed with mortar. You need to cut the main door, chicken door and window installations. You need specialty tools and fasteners to do this and could possibly rent in your area. You can allow for vents at the top of the wooden roof frames. It can be done, add up all the prices of the hardware and see if it's cost effective.
