Closed-cell spray foam in a two-part froth pack is a fast and effective way to eliminate thermal bridges and air leaks in building assemblies

Welcome to ProTradeCraft’s Weatherization Nat

How steel reinforcement makes concrete stringer: by giving it tensile strength. And how to boost tensile strength with prestressing or post-tensioning

Mesh sheeting creates a drainage space between the siding and weather-resistive barrier (WRB) allowing walls to dry much faster which makes them last much longer.

Everything there is to know (well, almost) about blower door testing with a few engineer-y jokes along the way.

How building materials absorb, reflect, and transmit sound waves

Protect the edges from sideways rain, and overlap like you've done it before!

Flashing, overlapping, and sealing layers keeps the outside out and the inside in

Overspray will get everywhere, so make sure the booth is contained, and make sure your tools are out of the booth.

The Tyvek weather-resistive barrier can be a water barrier and an air barrier, but it is NOT a vapor barrier

Furring and foam on the INSIDE for better walls in really cold places.

Barriers, air gaps, continuous insulation, and redundancy give durability to a new crawlspace

How to dig your way out of a hole with gravity, foundation drainage, and common sense

Careful scribing, a thoughtful process, and a couple of third-hands make multiple-segment faux beams "look like they grew there."

An overview of the premiere season of this new construction show. We'll follow MARK IV Builders as they demonstrate smart building envelope practices.

A drum set built from cardboard looks cool, but it also sounds great.
