There's so much complexity to the perfection. I think the most important thing is to have an oversight or a supervisor who can make sure things are done correctly by the hourly labors.
As a builder I look at cost. I hate bump outs and roof accent ribbons. Just move the whole wall. Make it easier for everyone. I really hate building space aged colonials that are all chopped up. Every once in a while someone bites on a F.U.P. F.U.P. is an extremely high faq you price I don't want to do it or work for you. It is why we went to simpler designs. To cost homeowner or business owner less every month. When I was looking at designs for my cottage. The A frame and skillon stood out. As cheap and easier to build. A frames you loose wall space. You have helped me think better of Architects.
Just bid a job. Gonna fix rot under windows from brick window ledge. People please stop using brink window ledges. I consider it a construction flaw like a dead valley. Yes cosmetic it looks good with brick veneer. Functionally it usually will leak after time. Thanks Steve for so many videos on windows and sealing them properly.
Why combining ZIP R + Closed Cell Spray Foam + Cellulose in the wall cavity? I mean, why adding the closed cell spray foam? Is it for making the seams of the ZIP R vapor tight?
Yes. The closed cell spray foam does an excellent job sealing those seams, while the cellulose is a cost effective insulation versus almost any spray foam solution.
@@DrMJJr Yes, but in previous and other projects those seams (ZIP R) "are not a problem" according to Steven... In previous and other projects, Steven always used a "smart" vapor retarder, now he"s using only the sheetrock - which is air tight but vapor open - with the instruction to use "vapor open paint". To my knowledge such paint is a pure lime paint. Oil paint can also be used, but only in a maximum of about 6-7 layers ). So, it's a different approach which will work if the ratio of cellulose vs 'ZIP R + Spray foam' is low enough to avoid any condensation at the interface cellulose-spray foam. The main problem with ZIP R - being it's rather vapor closed - is even worsened with the use of closed cell spray foam, now it's fully vapor closed to the outside. Pushing a bio-sourced insulationg material against it at the warm side is risky business if that ratio of above is not correct... the inner insulation material might get wet and wet insulation does not insulate well. Besides that, it might lead to rot and decay as you have to wait until spring or summertime before everything can dry out agian.

Well thank you - my thoughts typically align with yours stated here

Can you design a 2500 square foot home in New Hampshire?

The audio doesn't sound right. It keeps clipping out, maybe your mic isn't setup right? Or it's something not right in post.
Weird ... audio was pretty clean for me.
@@GibsonCRG The outdoor footage, it definitely clips. The indoor acoustics aren't great, but mic is fine.
I can understand what he's saying which is enough
@@diemes5463 Just change the mic or settings, which isn't a lot to ask for!
