With a taped zip, I would posit that trying to create a water channel behind your polyiso is not necessary. You've already got a 3/4" drain between your siding & the polyiso via your furring strips. Overkill, IMHO.

Since you vented the soffits in the garage and not the rest of the home, do you seal off the garage in the attic from the rest of the home?

"Whend the siders come back for a _punch"_ What is a 'punch'?

Zip flashing tape sticks to Siga tape with no issues? I'm renovating exterior and want to seal concrete/bottom edge of Zip R3 with Fentram, and curious on finishing Zip flashing tape from sheathing seams to Fentram.

Scott, at one point you mentioned that there are a couple of insulation details you'd change, to be covered in a forthcoming video. I can't find that video. Is there somewhere to see what you've got in mind?

Great video! Been looking into these Broan systems and was happy to find this video.

I love how there is an air exchange in the shower.. that is awesome..

I Have Broan B150E75NT AI Series. I did the Independent Install T1 Setup. When Exhausting/Supplying from/to more than One Area/Room/Locations, How do you maintain Suction/Supply Air? I Have noticed a Significant drop in Air Suction from Exhaust and Decrease in Supply Air when I "Tee" in to more than One Area. The 6in Ducts drastically drops the air movement after I "Tee" Off into Any Location. How do You Overcome this?

Please keep sharing these videos! Great stuff

very well thought out

Thanks so much for sharing this Scott!

yes what you do for air tightness seems like common sense.. Also shows how lazy most in the industry are about building quality. Seems like those who build with paper sheathing are much much much worse about building anything that comes close to quality. Just toured a dh horton new POS subdivision going iin. Basically lot line houses. I would like to say they sure are crappily built.. if they got blower door test near 3 I would be shocked.

just subscribed glad i found your channel

Man oh man, if only more builders did their "spec" homes this well, I would feel more comfortable. Great Job! Hopefully more will follow your path.

Hey Scott what is the plastic you used for the rain screen? trying to figure out the best cost approach to put on my SIP walls for rain screen. thanks!

Excellent explanations. Hope you return with more content. Thank you.

You’re the man Scott, keep getting the good word out!!

Hi Scott. Just a plea for you to make more videos. I'm sure you will settle into exact style & how specific to go for each upload, but more is better. Love the content & appreciate you sharing insights to building homes that balance affordability and performance. Thanks!!

This man's honesty is refreshing.

These framers or labourers do not understand the system or the idea. You need to do it yourself or most of the stuff before the contractors come on site. You will be surprised how many roofers and framers do not know about insulation and air blocking concept for the roof or the whole house.

There's only 1 reason homes are built inferior... GREED! And maybe laziness... And may incompetence...

Great info!!

Beautiful house layout!

Thankyou!! Building in Australia and our codes are useless! Going to do a lot of this myself

Who is the person whose seminar you went to?

I'm so glad you're making these videos! Thank you!

Great description. Thanks. I wish I had a drawing of this detail.

Very useful, thank you Scott.

How do you handle the roof edge on top of the sika tape. Won't the tape show?

Does the siga tape just sit on the outside of the fascia? I would think you wouldn't want to see it to have a clean look.

24OC? why would you do this with a 2x6 wall rather than tradition 16OC? Thanks

How does that OSB on the roof hold up when it gets wet and is taped at seams?

Hey scott, why use the plastic furring strips only where there is no insulation?

It would be so much better if we could hear!

I am not a builder. However, I do find the constructions trades interesting. Also, it allows me to discover and become more knowledgeable as a homeowner. My main question would be...How would a disabled person be able to change the filter in the ERV without having to have the added expense of hiring someone to change out the filter? I myself, am a disabled veteran. I struggle with stairs and ladders. So, getting up in to the attic area would be a difficult struggle. Thank you for post. This was a very informative video. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Can you actually start a video series of a spec house build from beginning to completion? Majority of the videos I watch like yours, Matt Risinger and others, is you discuss what has been done, but do not show any of the how you got there. Thank anyways.

Is there zip sheathing behind the fascia?

I love this video 😁. The more scientifically efficient and durable the home is, the more money the home owner will save and the home will have less of a Burden on the grid in Texas. I know I hate rolling blackouts.

Scott, have you ever looked at LP WeatherLogic vs Zip System?

Why are you making the house Air Tite...????... I'm confused...

Thanks for the video Scott. Unfortunately I will have no ductwork. Radiant floor heating and mini splits for AC. What size of ERV will I need for 3800 square-foot house that has six bathrooms?

Thank you ! I’ve just started watching his videos yesterday

I’m going to build my house this way. I’m having the plans drawn up now. The HVAC system of coarse came up by the engineer drawing the plans and he had questions about how the ducts will be run since the middle of the house is all vaulted ceiling. I know no hvac companies in my area would be able to answer this I believe they are only interested in oversizing and building leaky ducts installed by 18yo kids for the most profit! If I asked them about ERV’s or adding a dehumidifier they look at me like I’m crazy! Who could I get to design the proper system on a budget?

Scott, how did the experiment turn out with the dryer system? Was it enough air with the single air damper or is the second external needed?

#scotttruebuilds where do you source your Polyiso you use?

Nice video discussion of a practical ERV implementation. A suggestion at the beginning of the video is to describe the house's square footage and whether the home is 1 story, split level, or 2 story.

Will subs put themselves out of business,to cheap a job

Why is the ductwork insulated if this is a conditioned attic?
