Staircase with Built-In Pantry and Powder Room, HVAC and RailFX Cable Railings

Corbett Lunsford

One of the central design elements in our high performance forever home (aside from the lighting, which is coming soon) is the staircase. We took the tiny house strategy of multifunctionality to a new level to challenge ourselves with, and hopefully to wow our visitors! Here I show the DIY install of the RailFX cable railings (http://railfx.net), the powder room underneath, and the amazing custom cabinetry my dad built into this 2x12 wall.

Testing the Air Handler Cabinet Leakage

Corbett Lunsford

Mastermind student Treondras and I isolated the air leakage built into my Mitsubishi heat pump’s air handler cabinet using a Retrotec Duc Tester 300 and DM-32 gauge. Turns out I made the right decision with Mitsubishi! Their 5 cfm at 25 Pa beats Neil Comparetto’s 6 cfm record. Good job guys.
