My house was built in 1983 and is stucco covered block. The end of one
wall has fieldstone ... as decoration.

I've noticed that the wall where the fieldstone is seems cooler than
the rest of the wall ... and it's especially noticeable when the
weather is damp.

Are we supposed to keep some kind of clear sealer on the fieldstone?
The outside of the house has been painted several times but we never do
anything to the fieldstone....

Just wondering.... the man at the Home Depot here had no idea.

Hi Dottie

I would check out the cement sealers, that have Sila, or Silo in it's
name. It always good to seal stone/grout.
