After 9 months of exposure, the footing of the crawlspace foundation is being buried- here are the answers to all your questions. See the finishing of the Form-a-Drain, sealing of the ForceField-concrete junction, permanent fastening of the Platon, and gluing of the 3" Rockwool ComfortBoard 80.
Corbett's stuck on how to both structurally support the decks on his build and ALSO to allow for exterior insulation behind the ledger. He turns to Build Show expert builder Matt Risinger on how to support, dry, and insulate this connection point.
Thanks to Atlas 46 for liking our work and sending us Concord pants and hats to outfit my entire crew (which is my parents)! Made in the USA, lots of places to put important stuff, and nice people too.
Corbett has made a few mistakes on one wall of this high performance house- he points out how and why this staging mistake happens in home builds all the time, and an inconvenient but effective way to fix it and ensure the performance of the envelope.
Grace and Corbett Lunsford (https://HomeDiagnosis.tv), along with Matt Risinger (http://youtube.com/mattrisinger) and Bryan Orr (http://youtube.com/hvacschool) are developing a scholarship program for training and mentoring minority professionals in the building industry. Know someone who could use a leg up on the competition by incorporating more high performance building techniques and tools?
Corbett delves into water quality control for the first time with Erik Bernal of Elite Water Systems, who gives a sneak peek into the multiple processes the Lunsfords will be using on this high performance home build to ensure water quality.
See what we've been up to on the ground, so to speak. 2” Rockwool ComfortBoard 80 getting glued to Platon dimpleboard drainage mat, with sealed top edge to ForceField sheathing WRB.
'Home Diagnosis' co-host Corbett Lunsford interviews Adam Cohen, longtime architect and builder who is now trying to synthesize high performance buildings with regenerative economics and social justice in New Zealand.
